Did you get your wireless working?npap wrote:Ha,Ha, Ha !.......
Very funny Richy.
And I've been trying to go wireless on this ancient laptop that I'm trying to revive! No luck with Wicd.
It won't work with the Debian based Xfce4 desktop though it's OK with Ubuntu based distributions.
What frustration!
Cheers, old boy!
If not you might give Wary Puppy 5.2.2 a try. It's designed to run on older computers. My son got it to run on an old Compac Presario with a pcmcia wireless card. I'm running Racy Puppy on a stick on my netbook (Wary with an updated kernel, etc., for newer computers) and it flies!

Re: THE MINT CAFE
Hello Ken,
It's nice to hear from you again.
I finally got this old Gateway laptop to work right.
Mepis AntiX base is really lean and versatile enough for any old PC. With it you can install Xfce or Lmde or any other Debian based OS. And the installation is very fast with the Mepis installer. Installed Synaptic too. Also switched to the Iceweasel browser which is actually a Debian version of Firefox.
I have a wireless stick working, which is detected by Ceni , a command-line network manager.
No other net manager works, Wicd is useless for some reason or other for older PCs.
Cheers,
npap live

Re: THE MINT CAFE
Hi npap, glad to hear you got it working. Antix is a fine distribution.
I put a variation of Puppy on my netbook's SSD called Racy NOP, which has an Xfce DE. It's not for older computers (uses kernel 3.0.7), but runs very well on my Eee Pc 900.
Cheers, Ken

Re: THE MINT CAFE
One of the most memorable comments about software, ever said, is whether this or that piece of Code can make coffee.
Coffee is a world commodity that is second only to oil.
Linux DOES make coffee; and it tastes good as well!

Re: THE MINT CAFE
ok with 93 pages of replies I don't have the time to read every post. So my question is simple What is the Mint Cafe? I am new to the Linux Mint community (migrated from fedora and ubuntu) and am trying to get to grips on what everything is etc. Can someone please explain a little more clearly for me please?
Re: THE MINT CAFE

I surely appreciate your interest and I hope that you may start some new activity here and add some fun to our humdrum life.

Again,
thank you for your interest.

I don't want bread that has been 'cuddled' by a penguin
