No this is bugs.
- hotmail : average users don't know what headers are. Please change useragent.
- modify a file in ntfs : geany says "error saving file, operation not supported".
- csv : feature request.
- flv videos dont show image in gmplayer, only sound.
I found the solution with gmplayer -vo x11 file.flv
But puppy uses by default gmplayer -really-quiet -vo xv file.flv
- universal installer doesnt install grub.
- mouse scroll , this is bad design.
- keyboard language, why need X restart ?
There is a solution loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/es.map
Where are kmap files ?
Kmaps files are in gz in /lib/keymaps ?
Found solution : gunzip /lib/keymaps/es.gz | loadkmap
something like that...
to be continued...

- empty dirs : why keep on having those ?
/etc/belocs
/etc/dbus-1
/etc/gftp
/etc/pam.d
/etc/simple_network_setup
and others...

- hosts.conf should be

Nice one, James C. When I moved last year, some things just had to go. With a tear in my eye, boxloads of P I, Cyrix and even K6-III were bid farewell along with their boards - all in GWO; probably reduced for their auric complement by now.
Your efforts will doubtless cheer little old ladies in Novo-Sibirsk, teens in the DRC and fellow Welsh-speaking Patagonians who will, generators permitting, be able to email you directly with their thanks!

It seems I cannot modify some ntfs files because they are "compressed ntfs files" (files shown in blue). Not implemented in linux...

I did a manual frugal install of 5.1.4.1

I think pmount is broken, when I run pmount from the terminal it gives
errors:

# pmount
can not set locale properly

(process:14929): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
/usr/sbin/pmount: line 386: 14929 Terminated yaf-splash -bg orange -fg black -close never -fontsize large -text "$m_02"
#
I just had it update my 5.1.4 save file if that makes any difference.

Clicking on a drive in jwm mounts the drive but running pmount from
the terminal doesn't.

edit:I deleted the save file and rebooted 5.1.4.1, then checked pmount
and it worked.
So having a 5.1.4 save file updated by 5.1.4.1 didn't fix the pmount
problem but starting 5.1.4.1 with no save file and then creating one
in the normal way did cause pmount to work.
