HELP-- A computer has gotten a blue screen and doesn't work.

The links don’t work, anyway.

Appreciated. It seems that for the card to work, a driver called either: BCMWL5; lsbcmnds; or WPC300N_20061107.EXE has to be loaded, but those options aren’t available.

Okay, actually using BCMWL5 I believe would mean having to use the NDISWRAPPER option (BCMWL5 is the name of the Windows driver; NDISWRAPPER tries to use the native Windows driver via a wrapper); I have had some success with that but only with Ubuntu -- I haven't tried it with Puppy.

However, the driver called "BCM43xx" may work just as well for you; on my test machine, BCM43xx works just fine under Puppy with my Broadcom wireless.

If you do decide to try the NDISWRAPPER option, I think that Puppy will need to be able to find a copy of your BCMWL5.INF and BCMWL5.SYS files. While that should be not difficult, I would recommend trying the BMC43xx driver first.

Can a freeper go to this link: http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and explain how to turn the four disks and two other things (makeboot) into a boot disk? Have downloaded all six, extracted the four disks, and put all the disks and the two black screen things into a folder. However, dragging the disk files to either of the two black screen things doesn't seem to work.

As for the FILE / IMAGE thing, the puppy site suggested a cd burner software which was downloaded. However, that software turns a file with a raw disc image into a DATA disc. Is that what is supposed to be done?
