A day or two ago, my dotpup downloader stopped downloading the application list, so I cannot install anything from it anymore. I think this is caused by my installing mrxvt, which broke my rxvt shell, causing it to be no longer accessible. It seems to me that the downloader calls on rxvt to run the list-retrieving script, but cannot do so any longer.
How can I get mrxvt off of my system? I installed it from a dotpup provided in this forum.

It uses xterm , which by default is a symlink to rxvt.
Type "which xterm" to find out its location.
This will report for example
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
As I use KDE-Puppy with some addons, the path might be different for you.
Delete it:
rm -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Find out the path to rxvt:
which rxvt
Result for me:
/usr/local/bin/rxvt
Create a new symlink:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/rxvt /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
If you get no consolewindow, exit X (hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace), and enter the commands then.
(The following does not work with a full harddisk-installation, tell me if you use that)
If even rxvt is broken, delete
/root/.usr/local/bin/rxvt
Then reboot Puppy.
This deletes an rxvt installed later,and then after reboot, Puppys original rxvt is available again.
