Hello Sylvander,
When I make a tar.gz file for users to use. I pack all the required directories and files in to usr. This means that as long as a user extracts the tar.gz to / the files will be copied in to their correct locations.

I promise if you left mouse click on the tar.gz of smm and when xarchive opens let it extract to / all you'll need to do is refresh the menu under Accessories > Misc > Reload Menu and you'll be able to select smm from the menu. Install with take 2 seconds!

1. Did as you said above, and it really was that easy...
BUT...

2. When I clicked "Menu->Internet->Email->Save My Modem", nothing appeared.
So...

3. Ran a terminal window and entered the command smm, and got a warning as follows:
smm: error while loading shared libraries: libadns.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

4. I cannot find anything useful [only 1 hit] in the Puppy forum Google search for libadns.so.1
Any idea what I need and where to get it?

Hello Sylvander,
I've updated the smm tar.gz file with the correct libs please install and let xarchive overwrite your old install. Please confirm all is good now.
