Hello!

As for this ol' dog. he's always happy to help a pup in distress whenever possible.

Actually, I tried out LXPup 13.01 FULL on an old dinosaur around here the other day. (I just seem to be able to customize LXDE to my liking more easily.) It seemed to me that the list of packages available for it was quite limited.

I was also uncertain about just how to upgrade LXPup to the latest version. I like the 'full version' concept because you don't have to think about what it will take for you to put a whole system together.

Perhaps there's some tricks I don't yet know to get access to more Puppy-compatible stuff for download, or a way to convert other packages to Puppy easily...

PuupyLinuxWorld FYI, Kernel thread is here with accompanied warning - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=474.0

BTW

Someone sent me a link to the new 317 kernel on my main desktop, installed it and it busted my machine totally, not a problem cause I could boot using old kernel at boot screen, but a normal user would have been pissed, just so u all know. Would be nice to have a kernel install/upgrade utility in LL2.0.

Hi All

Many thanks for the help LL is installing now will give you all an update, and hey I think Donator is a kewl name giggles, regarding the slapping video I may do 1 for u all to enjoy.

Will let you know how I get on after running all the updates, but again thanks for help. The model is a Dell 1310, 4Gb ram and NVidia GMS 8500 graphics, ill do a system report when installed.

If you're on Windows use http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/Archive/win32diskimager-v0.9-binary.zip/download if you're on linux, use dd. Both are recommended as stated in the Help Manual, Install Guide.

I think this may have happened to me as well when I tried Lite from a usb. Worked on a CD though. Hmmm.

Great result!

...but a video of him slapping himself would have been fun!

[Coastie]

He found his problem. He burned the wrong version to his USB. Sounds like something I would have done.

I am sure it can be fixed using Linux Lite as he desires. He is on this forum too so I sent him a PM from this forum because I do not have a Google account. Maybe someone with a Google account can post under the video that this forum is where the answer can probably be found.

Broadcom covers a lot of turf. Dell covers a lot of turf.

Guess what.

He never mentioned anything about what kind of laptop (model number so we could google it). Broadcom chip (so we could google it), anything that can help us assist as far as I can tell.

I know a MX-14 cd will have some kernel support for broadcom wireless.

    Image files open with mirage.

    updated documentation.

But from what posts I have been reading here. The Linux-Lite cd also comes with broadcom modules in a live session and only breaks after a upgrade or install. So not sure what to say.

[Coastie]

I haven't got a clue on fixing this or why he did not post it himself on this forum. I am sure someone here will have the answer.
