Installing a game offered by someone completely anonymous and new to the community on a Linux distro that runs as root definitely sounds like a very good idea...

Remember that no one needs to depend upon someone else's voluntary work to release .pet packages. The official fotoxx website releases new versions quite often, and there is always a .deb package that works fine on Lucid. That's what I use. Another reason to dislike the forthcoming Slackware-based P...

Use Puppy's package manager to install ROX. It's easy. Then right-click the terminal area to configure it, there are many good options. I don't know what the default terminal is on Vector. You may also want to try Tilda or stjerm. These are running but hidden all the time, but become visible and for...

Try ROXterm, it is arguably the best terminal available for Puppy. Perl and Python have always been dependency nightmares, especially Python. When I used Slackware (and had to hunt dependencies myself), I tried quite a few Python apps and NEVER EVER managed to make any single one of them work. Not o...

I finally solved this. As it turns out, I have been running Puppy with lupu_devx_525.sfs and kernel_src_L4-2.6.33.2-patched.sfs loaded at boot for a long time, ever since I had to install VMware/VMplayer. Then I realized this and decided I didn't need them anymore and removed them from the bootup. Y...

Both Thunar and Xfe are available, I have both running. Thunar is better for certain things, Xfe is better for others. So are a number of other filers. You do know that xfce is not xfe, don't you? (just checking). Xfe is a file manager. I am comparing it to Thunar. XFCE is a window manager, a very ...

[SOLVED] Problem with Perl - exiftool
Suddenly, exiftool no longer works. Just like that. Consequently, fotoxx is not working properly. I run exiftool on the command line and get this error: puppypc[355-0]/> exiftool Can't locate lib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/pe...

[SOLVED] Video problem - Xorg high
I vaguely remember trying to run some programs, probably games, that would not run on Puppy. I got some error message about GLX or something, I don't remember. I didn't have much time to waste, so I dismissed it. Later on, I installed a game called Pipewalker, which would not run. Error message in c...

/bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash. Are you running a full, or frugal, install? Frugal. If /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash, that's easy to fix. There, it's fixed. Thank you. But I still would like to know where to get fresh copies of system files in an emergency, if I ever delete something else. Boy, I'...
