Re: Want to Run Salix on Macbook Pro (2015)
Hello gapan,
Thanks for the response. The post you linked to is very useful, particularly the rEFInd boot mgr info. I'll start the process and document here as I go.

Want to Run Salix on Macbook Pro (2015)
Hey guys, Longtime user here (wow, 12+ years!). I'm interested in using an *old* Macbook Pro (2015) as a dedicated Linux box. My questions are: 1) Is there a specific build you would suggest? I've historically used Salix XFCE <current> on my devices. 2) A few forum members seem to have successfully ...

Re: Internet connection issue / Salix 14.2 / Dell Inspiron 15
Apparently Cox cable doesn't offer static IP's for residential accounts, only business accounts. To make things even weirder, I just brought the puter to a coffee shop, where it is successfully connecting to their wifi..... so I'm seriously confused. I of course tried refreshing my router with a res...

Are you entering the correct type of password and encryption, that is, passphrase / hex / WPA / whatever? Click on the bar above where you enter the password to select it. You know you have the actual password right because it works with Puppy ... Sometimes it does take several goes, especially if ...

Re: Internet connection issue / Salix 14.2 / Dell Inspiron 15
STEPS: 1) I ran a 2017 Slacko Puppy Live CD, and it successfully connected to the router. 2) I uninstalled and reinstalled Salix 14.2; but again it didn't connect to router. (It does still connect to the iPhone hotspot). 3) I installed Wicd Network Manager, and restarted the system. I have used Wicd...

[RESOLVED] Internet connection issue / Salix 14.2 / Dell Inspiron 15
Hi guys, been awhile.
I have set up a Dell Inspiron 15 / 5000 series with Salix xfce 14.2. I can connect to my iPhone's wifi hotspot, but not to my home router. Totally stumped on this one. Any of you Salix wizards want to help me troubleshoot for old time's sake?

Re: Salix Forum hangs on Acer Aspire 5070
Thanks for your help guys. The computer is old.... but that's never stopped me before. I'm still running Salix on another computer I bought in 2004! LOL. Dell Inspiron 6000.... the box I had back when I switched from Zenwalk to Salix. Crazy, right? Anyway, the password idea is good of course, but th...
