NO!

Read the thread that I linked to in my previous post. It will tell you what we need and How to find it.

the line
lsusb returns 'bash: lsusb: command not found

You most likely need to include the "path" to where that command is. Something like this:

/usr/bin/lsusb

I don't know where it actually is located on your system. You may be able to locate it with the find or locate commands.

Code:

---

find lsusb

---

Code:

---

locate lsusb

---

Puppy Linux doesn't include lsusb by default.

You also can download a .pet package to a usb stick and transfer it to you puppy box to install.
