Finding out how much cpu a process is using

I only ask because I came back 2 hours later to my puppy machine, no windows open and yet the graph shows like 100% cpu usage? Edit: Ok, it's "top" someone told me on aim. NOW the problem; under the 'command' column, it's pointing to /root/mysql/var/uppypc.err. I don't have a var directory...

Ok thanks 8) (using puppy 4, so not a problem.) Oh do I have to do anything special to the file? Or will it just automatically decide "Hey look a file, *execute*" ?

Where do I place a startup script?

So I found a simple startup script on some website that will start apache and mysql, and it says to place it in the startup directory. (Which is apparently something like /etc/init.d/web for suse) What is that in puppy?

It's commonly used in webpages for various things such as roll over effects. (Keep in mind that I haven't read what the author of this topic posted)

OH ok, I just put in /. Thanks for the help so far (oh, and I was following the other topic earlier because I didn't know what else to do then you started helping so I stopped with that).

Edit: It worked! Thank you so much! (now off to compile everything)

It was a little deeper than that, but yes thanks to pfind it was easy enough to find. deletion + recreation worked successfully; time to start downloading again.

Oh and when is it supposed to ask for me to load devx? either I missed it or it didn't show up

Yeah well I did screw myself pretty badly. Right now, I have a white desktop with no icons. Now how do I go about deleting that file it stored on my harddrive? (going to start over fresh..)

I'm using dingo, so would I be 400 then? Also, is there an easy way (or any way at all) to uninstall this afterwards?

Edit:
Tried this:
#mount -o loop devx_400.sfs /data

and it gave me this error:
mount point /data does not exist

Thanks. Also, when I remaster my current puppy even if I haven't installed it to a harddrive, will it put in my installed applications? Ex: Right now I installed firefox and nothing else. If I chose to remaster right now, and burned a disc would it still have firefox installed?

Viewing memory usage

How can I see the memory usage? I tried installing an applet that was supposed to go in the tray and display that but it never appeared; even after a restart. Is there any terminal command I could use?

Anyway I went to download firefox from the package manager and it said I didn't have enough space and that I could a...
