2 versions of xfce ^^^^ enjoy :)

by the way contrary to popular belief the forum search does work and is clearer than the google thingy...but don't tell everybody cos it might break again :D

Installing the latest Xfce on Puppy 4.3.1 seems a bit sketchy as there are some problems with the package manager. If you want Puppy 4.3 with Xfce why not use Grays ready made NOP? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=48179
This is a beauty and has very few bugs.
