Hi,

Compilers working successfully under Puppy Linux v2.15CE
(kernel v2.6.18.1) xterm (terminal) & geany (text editor)..

Machine setup:
ASROCK VIA 'all-in-one' m/b; AMD Duron 1.8Ghz+; 1.0GB RAM;
20GB hdd (Win98se); 80GB hdd (MEPIS 3.4-3/Puppy v2.15CE Frugal);
1GB USB pendrive (Puppy 2.15CE Frugal); CD/DVDRW; 17" LCD monitor;
HSF 56k PCI dialup modem; 1x serial port.

Didn't have the serial programming cable hooked up so
not sure if either an 08M chip or an 18X chip would be
successfully programmed..

Tested with a couple of '.bas' files I had available in my Picaxe folder..

sh-3.00# ./picaxe18x -s picaxert.bas

Thanks for the feedback. If you try with a -c/dev/ttyS0 included you should still get a message without a board attached - either 'hardware not found' (which is correct, serial port trying to work correctly) or some other message!
