?

i think any kind of direct association with RaspberryPi should be avoided - RaspberryPi is a too specific hardware, and there are some others running on Arm, like BeagleBoard, which also runs Linux, and Puppy will be welcome there as well

how to create users and install xdm on a ext3 full install?

since i installed (full install) PuppyLinux 500, a situation scared me a bit: the installed PuppyLinux were in a root login, not any other user login... a question: how can i add other users (by gui or command line), install xdm (maybe xdm is better because gdm seems too heavy for PuppyLinux), and c...

"That's 16 minutes total. And you should have Puppy running. " you mean having both PuppyLinux and HaikuOS running? formerly i had PuppyLinux 500 booting alone without problems - my problem is about being able to choose between PuppyLinux 500 and HaikuOS from Grub, and having Grub working ...

this is exactly what i wanted to avoid - for me is nonsense having to backup and erase ext3 with PuppyLinux full-installed, when only fixing Grub would be enough... :( - and anyway, i were constantly reinstalling (full-install) PuppyLinux, and erasing whole hard disk, again and again, and the result...

PuppyLinux for Arm

since there are very interesting hardware like BeagleBoard ( http://beagleboard.org/ ) - how far would be a good idea having PuppyLinux there?

i understand perfectly, specially because i'm not seeing puppybasic or pygame there... anyway, any effort on joining all .pup files in just one place, like one joining (and backing-up) everything done in .pet packages, and even existing a webpage like rpm-search (maybe pet-search?), would be awesome...

which are the best PuppyLinux application repositories?

which are the best (complete) PuppyLinux application repositories, as easy to use as packages.ubuntu.com or bebits.org ? - if Ubuntu has around 30,000 packages available, would be great seeing the same on PuppyLinux as well! and would be great if the official PuppyLinux website would target it as of...

would be great if next PuppyLinux comes with better arrangement of JWM config files:
- ~/.jwmrc only with <Include> and <StartupCommand> entry tags, calling files from '~/.jwm/' directory
- in '~/.jwm/' directory, files like 'config', 'keybindings', 'menu', 'startupitems' and 'theme'

thanks!

You can't. Puppy is a custom distribution. It is not based on Debian, and does not use Debian packages or apt-get. even if i make a tarball of apt-get, and set all the information needed like repository urls? i didn't asked if i can or not, i asked how can i do it, as i believe is really possible! ...
