Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I am working through them and checking my results.

mimosa, Thanks for your reply. I have tried again to create a bootable USB key and this time varied my method, since my current method didn't seem to be working. :) To create a bootable Salix OS USB key I tried following this procedure: 1. Run GParted; 2. Delete the existing (1) partition from the U...

Take 2 - In fact I want to resurrect this topic. :) I create a Salix OS 13.37 MATE edition live USB key by dd-ing the live ISO to a 4 GB USB key. It boots perfectly but I would like to make the installation persistent. The Persistence Wizard requires a partition on the host for storage of the persis...

Essentially I want the installation being completely portable. I h...

djemos - Bingo! That solved my problem so thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Now I can happily use SalixOS without being tied to my router. \O/

gapan - Thanks also for your suggestion. I actually checked this before noticing djemos' reply.

I recently reinstalled SalixOS 13.37 Xfce, 64-bit edition on my MSI Wind U200 which has a RALINK wireless chipset. I have successfully had wireless working in the past with SalixOS and this laptop but can't get it working now. I believe the chipset is RT3090 but in the past the RT2860 driver has wor...
