I installed Puppy on a very old netbook about 4 months ago and would like to update any and all packages to their newest version.
Is there any way to do this either using the package manager or command line?
(I'll admint I'm used to the Ubuntu package manager that tells you when there are newer package version available and gives you the option to automatically the system, and perhaps this does not exist on Puppy?)
Thanks!
How to update all packages automatically?
I've always thought, if it works the way you want it, leave it alone.
I have "upgraded" to "newest" versions of software in the past and it wasn't necessarily better.
Now, I will uphold my end of the bargain.
To upgrade software in puppy, you'll have to find the newer versions and install them.
Sorry, no automagic upgrades for puppy...yet. Besides, it's not that difficult to download one here and one there when it's needed.
Puppy is so small, I usually wait until the latest iso is released, download and hope things have improved.

AS the OP didn't specify what type of install he has, difficult to decently reply on the question.
