If the alsamixer does not work out of the box on your laptop,
you could try Setup->ALSA sound wizard. It searches for all 
sound cards on your machine, and tries to install the driver.
If you can't get that to work, you could use one of those 
cheap USB headphone devices, they cost Euro 10 here.
You can find out the name of your card by doing 'lspci' in a console.

For the wifi, if you cannot find a linux driver you use the ndiswrapper
together with the windows driver.
Problem is that the windows drivers are closed source, so it is 
impossible to write a driver for all obscure hardware around...
That is why the ndiswrapper was developed, so you can use the 
closed source windows driver. 
BTW, that works on puppy as well....

I cant find any drivers for the pressario CQ56-124LA laptop.
Thanks

 For sound setup in the puppy CD: do alsamixer in a terminal
 just follow the instructions... if nothing works, a simple USB headphone 
device will...

 Puppy has a phantastic wifi setup program:
 Setup->Internet connection wizard

 Hello Rein thanks for the short instructions.
 I tried the live cd's first. (latest versions)
 I found the fligi and pskmail files in the binaries. (thanks Per)
 Problem with the live CD is the configurations of sound devices,also wifi 
won´t work.
 I don´t know what the server is doing. I tried to upload a mail via the 
server, but did not get it through.
 It would be nice to have flow diagram of the handling by server.
 I just dont understand yet the steno of linux terminal.
 If I have more specific questions. I will be back. It would be nice to have a 
working PSKmail server in Latin America.
 I feel quite lonely in this respect.

  Hi Karel,

  first of all, which live CD? there are several. Pse specifics....

  To install a server on UBUNTU, do the following:
  * Connect to the internet
  * Install fldigi
  * Download pskmail_server-1.0.32.tar.gz from 
[[http://hermes.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pskmail]]
  * In a terminal do tar zxvf pskmail_server.tar.gz
  * cd pskmail_server-1.0.32
  * sudo ./INSTALL
  * answer yes to all questions
  * start fldigi
  * start pskmail_server in a terminal

  The server files are in /usr/local/share/pskmail_server

  To install a client on linux or windows,

  * connect to internet
  * install
  * download the installer of jPSKmail-0.8.5 for linux or windows
  * in linux, make installer executable
  * run installer
  * start fldigi
  * start jPSKmail

  Hello I am trying to setup pskmail server in Ubuntu, but I dont know where to 
put the installable and how to execute the installation.
  I dont know anything of Linux.  Manuals step by step I need.
  When I try to start installation with a terminal session. I says It cant find 
the files.
  The files are now in the download dir.
  Please some help.

  Another questions. I have a live CD that installes the server but when a try 
to run a live cd client it installes the server not the client.
  What to do?

  On a CD here on my desk...
  It all started when we figured it would be nice to have the modem part
  included in the pskmail client. Franz-Josef did a very nice job of
  porting the necessary classes to java, he also built a simple user
  interface for testing. I have attached an image of that, nothing much to
  see there but it just shows that it does run on java and it works.

  At a later stage we decided not to include it anyway as we would then
  not benefit from all the hard work done by the fldigi group. But, it
  would make a very nice addition to an android phone. With this mornings
  announcement from Nokia I will immediately ditch my phone and get an
  android device so I would like to see this there as well.
