WARNING: not for everyone, can cause many problems, you may harm your system.


All the info and packages in here are to be used mainly to install Beryl.
Before start, is not recommended to install this upgrade on your main Puppy installation. Because some apps might crash or won't start, this haven't been fully tested on Puppy.

To make things easy you'll only need to install a simple dotpup(doesn't have any security check, beware), it extract the files to the right location without register to PETget. So uninstall is not possible.
