Dear Mick,
Thanks very much. You're very quick. It should make setting up "test" USB sticks very quick and painless.
With kind regards,
vovchik
PS. I usually use konsole, so I will incorporate your hacks.

I must have had a bad VFAT file system on my formatted SD card, 'cause I reformatted it, put the puppeee files back on it and it booted like a charm!
...now to try it out!
Thank you for your interest.

Hmm, I was hoping I could count on xterm always being there. I wonder if I included the xterm binary if that would always work. Or maybe xmessage would be a better choice.

Dear Jemimah,
I think xterm or a symlink xterm -> rxvt is always there, but xmessage is prettier, IMO. You could do a check on the environment var TERM or do a "which", but I figure you know that anyway. Again, xmessage might be better since would not frighten people unaccustomed to the terminal.
With kind regards,
vovchik

Hi jemimah, vovchik
Ha! I just punched "$TERM" into konsole in Mandriva2010 and got "xterm: Command not found".
To me this is a severe bug! The environment variable "TERM" is set to a non-exsistant program. Surely they could have symlinked xterm to konsole.
Ok, so xterm is probably there in most distros.
Cheers
