Hi all
me really loving puppy, its awesome!! Makes my PIII looks like a state of the art PC.
A few questions though
Just installed,, a few questions
2) if you have Icewm installed, you can remove the mail icon by editing file "preferences" in the hidden folder ".icewm" in the "/root" folder
3) yes, tab completion is not the same as dos/Windows ... for one thing, the current directory is not automatically in the default PATHs for executables ... if you want to execute a program in the current directory, you would type something like ./aprogram ... you need to type the full path (relative or absolute) because the current directory is not in the default PATH ... tab completion should work if you include the dot-slash in the path ... also, the bash shell is case sensitive, though you can configure bash to ignore case if you like
5) Puppy is not based on Debian, and does not have the apt-get package manager installed ... you can unzip deb package files, and manually copy the files to the correct locations, and manually configure the program, but some packages will require other programs or libraries to be installed that Puppy doesn't have, and the deb package will have been created assuming that the operation system is Debian, and is in fact, a particular version of Debian ... in other words, you will have to adapt the deb package to Puppy, because the deb was created for a different operating system

run "xev" in a consolewindow.
Move the mouse over the window that opens, and press your "/"-key.
Write down the keycode you get.
Open leafpad, enter this line:
keycode 0x10 = 7 slash braceleft
The keycode is the value you just wrote down.
The following 3 values are what shall appear, when you press that key
In the example:
normal keypress prints "7"
Together with "shift" it prints "/"
Together with right "ALT" it prints "{"
Save as "/root/.Xmodmap" and restart X.
Puppy should load it automatoically.
