No need to think hard.. just do :)

(You will find a lot of current scripts fixed; it's a work in progress)

Heh, ok then :)
I'll register to git/forum later, I'll need some time to get used to git and exchanging of files. I remember someone made a tutorial here.

That's great news and I'm sure puppy can bring back full multiuser capability, which will bring new puppy users.
Unfortunately I'm far a way from your development skills and level and I doubt I can help much. I'm learning in the process and it takes me more time to fix stuff that I messed up with a lot of help. But I have similar problems fixing multiuser file/folder permissions in DebianDog (Light Wheezy). I guess I mixed them up the same way as Puppy did by desigh, thinking to use it just as root. All folders and files got root:root permissions and it was working fine till we added user account. we are almost at the end fixing this for DebianDog so maybe I can help with some information and testing?
Just point me to the thread and information where this multiuser fixing happens at the moment, please!

Dejan555, BTW I still use your KDPup-484 as main OS and haven't moved to newer version because I got it remastered with lots of programs I need. I will test the multiuser support in latest Dpup and write in the thread.

I'll be probably posting thread about multiuser on woof-ce's nabble forum soon.

Interesting, maybe you can try experimental remaster with dpup 486's base so you can have newer glibc and gtk
I will test the multiuser support in latest Dpup and write in the thread.

Zero here.
Sorry late to this thread absolutely no attacks - happily run as root. Be careful where you go, use common sense etc.

I am glad my experience of converting puppies to multiuser is of no use :D

Here are forums, or mailing lists if you prefer:

http://woof-ce.26403.n7.nabble.com/

There's also tutorial about cloning source from git, registering and sending patches etc... still have to set it up myself.
