Re: Another problem with wireless.

Mr. Pwatk,

I have to get Salix re-installed on my computer first, then I'll give the commands a try and let you know.

Re: Another problem with wireless.

Hello again!
Mr. Gnomic, the little Dell I have is a mini 9. It has 2 gigabytes of memory and a 16 gigabyte solid hard drive. It wasn't difficult for him to change the card. He removed a panel from the back of the computer and the orignal wireless card was right there. One of the advantages of ...

Re: Another problem with wireless.

Hello, back again. I don't give up easy, and i won't go to something because it's easy. I'm looking for something that will work for me. If I wanted easy I would stay with Microsoft and Windows. I've worked my farm and my shop for 50 years, you can't work a farm and give up easily. I will admit I'm ...

Re: Another problem with wireless.

Hello again gentlemen,

Well, I took my first try at the command program. I really toasted everything, my Salix won't start up now.
I drove into town to the only open computer shop for 45 miles around. I got pretty lucky, the young fella behind the counter was a youngster that I allowed to hunt on ...

Re: Another problem with wireless.

Well.. It looks like I've jumped into it way over my head. This is probably a foolish question, but would it be better for me to find a shop that has the wireless hardware that will work and have them install it in the netbook? If it is better to do so, what brand or type do I need to look for?
I've ...

Another problem with wireless.

OK! Here goes!
I have a Dell netbook which has a Broadcom wireless in it. I installed Salix, but cannot get the wireless to work. I've read some of the posts about fixing the problems, but to be honest, I haven't the foggiest idea about what is being described. Can someone give me very simple ...

Re: Hello!

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I have a fair sized (3 acre) vegetable garden, a very small orchard, and a few bee hives to take care of and it's all been keeping me a bit busy lately.

I don't have a high speed connection readily available at home, I live a bit over 38 miles from a town with a ...

Hello!

I'm rather new to Linux and not exactly the brightest with computers. I've been trying to find some type of linux that was easy for a old goat like myself to use. Want to get away from Windows and its cost. I tried Zenwalk on my old computer, a used Dell my grandson bought for me (P4 2.4 ghz., 512 ...
