You know, what really bugs me is that there still is not a repository system like Ubuntu and Fedora has. So, my suggestion is to implement a repository system and a terminal/gui method for downloading and installing files from it. I see that you guys have made a extremely new web based repo system.

Thanks, it worked. I had it installed full cause i intend to use it as a test os and a backup just in case Ubuntu fries on me.

I just installed Puppy 2.17 on my second hard drive. When it tried to add the boot info to the menu.lst file for ubuntu, it couldnt. I need the info to manually add it to my menu.lst file. Here is my menu.lst file in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/f67fffc9 .

I dont think that undeb would work, i think this program relies on some parts of Gnome wm that puppy does not have. Like transparency, a real taskbar like windowz has that has the running processes in it, etc. Havent checked out the link yet.

Welcome to the forums! I normally run Ubuntu now, before i got my memory upgrade i was running Puppy cause ubuntu was slow as heck lol.

nutter question, i need to install some tar.gz files. They are: Fontconfig-2.2.0.tar.gz, freetype-2.3.4.tar.gz, glib-2.14.4.tar.gz, and gtk+-2.12.0.tar.gz. I need these to get Gimp.pet to run. Help?

I thought this would make a good topic, how about a background trade? To start it off, my background is attached.

Ok, when i apply a backround in Enlightnment 16 Window Manager, the backround appears next to my active desktop but is not visible on my desktop. Help?

Ok, i am going to transfer my current installation of Puppy from my old 1GB Western Digital Caviar hard drive (which is failing) to a 5GB ext2 partition on another hd. Would this kill my puppy or would it still be the same? On the other partition i am running Ubuntu.
