I have installed puppy slacky on my usb and used it a couple of times. Today I was unable to boot. After puppy was loading RAM etc and entered the password, the following message appeared :-
"puppypc 27372 login: root (automatic login)
#"
What is the next move for my pet puppy to load?

Try typing:

# xwin

Hopefully the xwindow server will start and you will get back to your desktop.

Thanks greengeek that did the trick. Now I have puppy barking nicely!

Next step is to upgrade to the latest version.
