I have tried puppy for a week or so. I have found it fantastic. I can not believe all it does with only 55mb. Great job.
My question is about installing firefox. I started pupget, and after downloading firefox and installing it, gives the following:
SUCCESS: firefox-1.0pr is installed!
Note: to see any change to the menu, the window manager must be restarted
HOWEVER, these dependencies required by this package are missing:
File /usr/lib/firefox/components/libmozgnome.so has these missing library files:
libgconf-2.so.4 libORBit-2.so.0 liblinc.so.1 libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libbonobo-activation.so.4 libgnome-2.so.0 libbonobo-2.so.0
File /usr/lib/firefox/components/libnkgnomevfs.so has these missing library files:
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libbonobo-activation.so.4 libORBit-2.so.0 liblinc.so.1
File /usr/lib/firefox/components/libnegotiateauth.so has these missing library files:
libgssapi_krb5.so.2
WRITE THESE FILENAMES ON PAPER, THEN INSTALL THEM!
I searched for these packages in debian.org but there arent there.
So, what should I do?
Thanks, and puppy is amazing.

installing firefox on puppy 1.0.6
go here and download the tar.gz file for the language you want ... English US is here
unzip the file (anywhere you like)
in the firefox folder, click firefox to start it
that's basically it ... download ... unzip ... it's ready to run
you can drag firefox to the desktop if you want a desktop shortcut
you should be able to unzip a tar.gz file by clicking it
you can do it from the command line by typing
tar xzf the-name-of-the-file
making a dotpup package for Firefox 1.5 is on my todo list (it's getting bigger and bigger)

Also, you can symlink firefox to /usr/local/bin (open windows with both locations, drag it there with the middle mouse button, and select "symlink" or "link," whichever pops up.). Then if you type "firefox" on the commandline, it will start. Also, if you do that, you can edit "defaultbrowser" in /usr/local/bin to say "firefox" where it says "moz-start", and that will make Firefox the default browser.

I just discovered how easy it is to "install" Thunderbird. Download, unzip, open, click and go. Why aren't all Linux applications done that way? (Applications in a directory, I think it's called.) Trying to save a few megabytes by using shared libraries has proven to be far more trouble than it's worth, and I don't see why applications need to put files all over my computer just to be able to run.

i just uploaded a Firefox 1.5 Installer
installs to /root ... includes a roxapp wrapper ... option to make Firefox the default browser ... sets up the plugins
Firefox and Thunderbird are very easy to install ... just unzip and it's ready to run
