Running as user spot seems impossible unless you do this changes:
open file /etc/passwd and change home folder for spot from /root/spot to /opt/spot
Then make his home folder and set ownership:
mkdir /opt/spot
chown spot:users /opt/spot
su spot
Now firefox will run as user spot, but will look ugly, and no way to change theme
with lxappearance.

Hi

[Scooby]

Archpup is a 32 bit system huh?

I tried to run it on my old IBM t42 but during boot it says
"your cpu doesnt support pae"

You cannot run archpup on older comps?

Thanks simargl will try recommended solutions when on
archpup, now on windows

1.Building tixati from AUR works fine.
Is there a similar way to download a package with pacman, Have it stored locally
and installed with pacman -U.

For example I want to download firefox and dependencies and install them with
pacman from local files?

I can download firefox with
pacman -Syw firefox --cachedir .

*EDIT*
I found out that I could get all with
pacman -Syd firefox --cachedir .

But how do you install it with pacman in a easy way?

2.Tried the offered solution on tor browser bundle. It bypasses not running as root problem,
When I figured out I had to start up localhost it runs to
Bootstrap 50% loading relay descriptors then
it hangs. Anyone come across this problem before?

3. With devx loaded I get a file exist conflict(sqllite?) when installing firefox. I just removed the conflicting files. Is this the correct procedure or can you resolve conflicts any other way?

4. How do you configure touchpad? I miss two finger scrolling.
cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

Hi simargl

I did only resquash with archpup the file system contained in /initrd/pup_ro2,

no change!

the result is an arch-1204.sfs beeing 96 MB (yours, exactly the same, is only 73 MB).

my /root/.history :

Is the panel tint2? And also can I get it to display certain icons and not show the most recent ones and maybe have the open ones present but then go away when I close them? Kinda like the windows7/unity docks. It looks great though! And it runs really well on my Asus 1005hab. However, I am having issues booting it on my dell dimension 8400 because of some grub errors I can't figure out.

@morgonzola: Panel is tint2, and you can add or remove launchers in /root/.config/tint2/tint2rc,
see this line launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/urxvt.desktop.

I will add script that was used to make ArchPup initrd.gz in attachment. Original file is from
Puppy Precise, I replaced only DISTRO_SPECS and /lib/modules/*.
