"spot" is a restricted user of Puppy.

(you could also add fido, rover, rex!)

 

/root/spot is spot's home directory.

 

To change from root to user spot, type this:

 

1. su spot
2. cd ~

 

Or, do this:

 

1. su --login spot

 

Note that spot has been setup to not require a password.

 

You can confirm that you are indeed now spot:

 

1. whoami

 

When you have finished being spot, type this:

 

1. exit

 

User "spot" is currently used in Puppy by DidiWiki.

See the script /usr/sbin/didiwiki-gui, which is run from

the window manager menu, in "Information managers" submenu.

It would be useful to have an up-date on this subject specifically for 4.00, as in section from:

 

http://www.puppylinux.com/development/package-management.htm

 

A Slackware package can be converted to PET using the 'tgz2pet' utility. For example:

 

# tgz2pet xgames-0.2-i386-1.tgz

 

Which will create 'xgames-0.2-i386-1.pet'. Click on this and PETget

will install it, and will even run the install script inside the

Slackware package.

---

Debian offers a huge software repository comprising about 15,000 packaged programs; these can expand Puppy Linux's functionality considerably.

 

First of all, install the Dillo browser and the pb_debianinstaller program.

Adding space to pup_save

When you installed puppy you made a pup-save file.

The blue box-bottom right, shows how much space is left in

the pup-save file.

To add more space:

menu

utility

resize personal storage file

add as much as you like as long as it will fit

in the remaining space on the drive; it adds on reboot
