Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This won't make me popular but someone needs to say it.

The various puppy linux websites are a complete and utter mess.

I needed a single .pet file. Searching for this file involved going through ridiculous numbers of pages which mentioned the file, and said helpful stuff like "You need to get this file" (Well duh...) but did not link it, or claimed to have the file, but did not actually exist at all. One page, a list of software packages, went through in detail a whole bunch of packages and what they were but didn't link to downloads for any of them.

The point is, if you actually need a .pet file without using the PetGet installer (say the computer doesn't have an ethernet port), it is a ridiculously convoluted and frustrating process. Someone should try it sometime.

Edit: I did eventually find the file.

yeah, it's a problem

the answer is, volunteer to fix it yourself

And now you've continued the tradition by talking about the file without giving its name or where you eventually found it.

This problem doesn't seem to affect everyone.

We have not had one single complaint from
North Korea about this.
