I don't understand how to install other programs on puppy.
i know there's puplets, or dotpups. but it seems like they are outdated, full of errors, or hard to find.
If i try to compile something on it, i usually get all sorts of errors, probably becuase i'm missing dome dependencies.

can someone aid?

you got one dot too much in your link:
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP/virtualbox-3.[b].[/b]0.8_k2.6.30.5.pet
it should be:
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP/virt ... 6.30.5.pet

Thank you for the link though
