Would this be possible? Has anyone tried before?
I really don't like the current desktop, and I've tried KDE before, but the installation gets really gritty.
I looked at the GNOME desktop, and quite liked it. Is there anyway to make a .pup (or even installing) GNOME?
Porting Puppy Linux to a GNOME desktop?

I too have the same question. From screenshots, GNOME Commander looks like a wonderful file manager and Nautilus is intriguing too.
Side question: In Puppy 2, if I make Fedora Bordeaux (full GNOME 2.14) my "underdog" distro, do I automatically get full GNOME in Puppy?
Side question: is this what klhrevolutionist and bombayrockers were talking about in their gtk2 discussions (which are way over my head at this point in time)?

Alert: Cookie cutter response ahead:
When there's a will there is a way.
Specially knowing that a Linux is a Linux is a Linux.
I've posted this answer before: Of course someone cound create a dotpup or a usr_more or some other way to port Gnome to Puppy (yes, is Porting Gnome to Puppy, not the other way around as you wrote it
)
If noone has created it is because it hasn't been a priority for anybody.
One of the great things about open source is: If someone really needs something then they'll be able to do it themselves (or pay someone to do it for them)

I keep trying to formulate my next question, but my thought process is overridden by, in my mind's ear, the beginning track of an old Moody Blues album:rarsa wrote:When there's a will there is a way...'Specially knowing that a Linux is a Linux is a Linux..."
...to have all these things in our memory's hoard,
...and to use them...to help us...to find...
(dissolves in hysterical laughter)
I guess my next question is the utterly simple one which no one has yet asked:
How do I set up Puppy 2 to use another distro as "underdog" layer? (EDITED: it turns out this question HAS been asked before, and answered by BarryK, at
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6098
--Sit)
Now my question to BarryK is:
In the forthcoming Puppy 2 beta, is the "underdog" layer implemented for a "minimally invasive, Pupmode 2, option 1" installation?
