I would open a new thread there and see if you get any better responses than here. I don't run broadcom anything. All my chips are either realtek,atheros,or raylink. Quote from your link: Note: You need to have a compiler and headers for libc installed, since you will have to build fwcutter from source This requires the devx.sfs for Puppy 528 to be installed before you can compile anything from source in MacPup 528. It should be in your quick pet package manager.   domskar on "Notebook running hot with Macpup 528" http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/notebook-running-hot-with-macpup-528#post-2534 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:31:42 +0000 domskar 2534@http://hardkap.net/forums/ Thanks for the fast response!

I've got a handful of experience with Ubuntu, but that's it. Recently I'm running the latest Macpup 528 on a Acer Travelmate 7510 Notebook because it's fast and suitable for tendious tasks. There's also installed Windows 7. Compared to Windows 7 the Notebook gets exceptionally hot running Macpup. The temp gadget talks about 60° C though the Notebook runs in idle or does light tasks such as text editing. Using Windows 7 the fan only runs when there are heavier tasks but with Macpup it even runs idling. Has anyone an idea how to fix the problem?
