How do I encrypt the filesystem on my USB Puppy?

I'm sure that this has been asked and answered many times before, but I can't find the answer. I've got Puppy 2.13 installed on a bootable USB stick. Everything's working great. The one thing I'd like to add is a way to encrypt the system, so a password is required at bootup. How do I do this? Thank...

Tk Game Pack

You should check out the Tk Game Pack. It's a Starkit containing about 90 Tcl/Tk games.

You can get it here: http://wiki.tcl.tk/13404. The page also has a set of links to the games, themselves, if you don't want to go the Starkit route.

Tcl tutorials

Clif's TclTutor application is pretty good (I know him quite well), but it's pretty out-of-date, and doesn't cover Tk, as far as I know. There's quite an extensive and up-to-date tutorial available at http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html , on the other hand, but it doesn't cover Tk...

Starkit, Tcl's answer for application delivery and update

I've been a very active member of the Tcl community for more than 10 years now. It's beginning to become very clear to me that the Puppy community and the Tcl community would both have a lot to be gained from a strengthening of ties between the two groups. Tcl has been a major component of Puppy sin...

Thanks. I had already installed Active State Perl, and tried to install the VMWare tools. The install script runs, but it coughs when it asks me to specify the ridectory where rc.0...rc.4 directories are located. I tried specifying /etc/rc.d, but that didn't work.

Upgrade problem with 1.0.3

The upgrade script is bombing for me when I try to upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. I've got a hard-disk installation, with Grub as the bootloader. When I boot from the 1.0.3 CD, run the install script, option 2, then pick upgrade, it tells me there's a catch22 problem since /dev/hda1 is already in use....

VMWare 5 -- Perl would help

One problem I've encountered with VMWare (the only problem, so far) is that, in order to install the VMWare tools, which dramatically enhances what you can do in the VM, you need to have Perl, since all the install scripts are .pl files. Any idea if or when anyone is going to add a PupGet or DotPup ...

VMWare

Also, the disk is formatted ext2 (type 83), if I recall correctly. I used the Grub script to install the bootloader, btw.
