Hello @HiDeHo Your original FF installation and usage may have come from @Shinobar where he automated all of what you seem to be using. Not sure, but sound like what many of us use. His benefit is that FF is placed on the system's HDD. Then every distro that boots does not need to install FF. Just ...

woo hoo i added xfce 4.12.pet built for tahrpup and it seems to work great. test fine.

HiDeHo, This is still Beta quality and is in bug fix and testing. Quickpet is something, I am sure, will be in the finished final release version. The finished, final release version of Xenialpup, is the one that needs to be shown on Distrowatch. Not ready for that yet! well i never mentioned anyth...

The first thing i notice is that there is no Quickpet installed. quickpet was the place in Tahrpup you would apply the puppy updates, install sfs and other apps and handy things for puppy os. including many generic sfs files directly. all other things you would get from the ubuntu apps after updatin...

Works! Posting from it now. :D Feels smooth and fast. Good work 666philb! Update: Palemoon started to get really laggy after about 40 minutes and slowed everything down to a crawl (100% CPU usage), not sure why as all I had open was a few Puppy Forum tabs. Right-clicking it and pressing Kill fixed ...
