In case somebody wonder what Drake Puppy is and where it can be downloaded.

Barry Kauler have it on his blog. I had no idea and had hoped the OP would link to it.

I am testing it now. What package did you try? From which mirror?
In case there are many. I don't trust many will help you if you not give more details.

YOU USE BIG CHARS. Is that really necessary? Are you using Braile or some other device that fail to make small chars?

I am looking at the Puppy Package manager now.
Barry has set up these.
Puppy-common then puppy-5 then mageia-1-core then mageia-1-nonfree

From which one did you try to install something? What name did it have?

You have a bug report thread here

Yes you where the first to report this and many have confirmed what you experienced too so it seems to be a confirmed thing the Devs have to look into.

Barry is very busy with other things just now so hopefully some other dev can get what is going on and tell how to solve it.

we have to be aware that Drake is Aplha and Barry did not promise anything. He is just sharing something he found interesting.
