Dear Barry,
Congratulations! I'm just checking Puppy for the first time, and it looks very promising. A full-fledged Linux with all necessary apps screwed down to fit into a considerable small amount of RAM - fantastic!
Unfortunately, there are still a few issues.
1. I am a German. Are there any chances to set up a German Puppy (which certainly would mean to create an entirely different ISO image for installation because all the apps should have - in my case - a German interface as well, I suppose ...) ?
2. Even with the keyboard maps in the current English-only installation German umlauts (
Puppy in German? Problems with keyboard mapping!

Hello,
umlaute should work in gtk2-based apps like Mozilla or Abiword.
If not, try de-latin-nodeadkeys.map.
I just uploaded the editor "adie", that displays them,too:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=1922
Textmaker works, too.
So what not works:
gtk1-applications and the console.
Maybe the reason for the console is "busybox", I will try that on my Linux-Mandrake next week.
What really is strange:
In beaver, Umlaute work in the font-selection-dialog, but not in the editor itself
With international menues I had no success yet.
XFE has german menues on Mandrake, on Puppy not.
So I will have to try other locale-settings next week.
