Johan- ImageMagick, OpenSSH, rTorrent and X11vnc are in the repos.

Kernel src you'll find links to in the dev section of Puppys`homepage.

Kernel source downloads much faster from this mirror compared to ibiblio:-

Best to get nvidia drivers from http://www.nvidia.com and it depends on which card it is for, but the official installer package works for me in Precise (Barry's or Pemasu's) with the above kernel and my FX 5200 card.

Please avoid using the word 'help' in a subject line.
If I allow it, pretty soon half the threads in the forum will start with the word "Help!" And if other forums I've seen are any guide, Help! will be the entire subject line in half of those. :lol:

I think some of these might be available with quickpet which unfortunately does not come with 5.4.3. See the above thread
