as i said, there are advantages and disadvantages to each approach However this seems to be pointless. If you install stuff, surely you check that it is not already there first the installer package might, or might not, do this automatically in any case, an upgrade to a newer version Puppy might ins...

or:

find / -perm -100 -type f -fprint /tmp/execlist.txt

it depends what you want to find ... i think -100 will find files that are executable by the owner of the file ... +111 will find all files with any one or more of the executable bits set (owner and/or group and/or world)

there are advantages to both ways the way it is now, i can install library files and executables in /root/my-applications, and they will be found and used if they are not already installed in Puppy ... if you upgrade to a newer version of Puppy, which happens to have the latest versions of those lib...

the borders are very visible and easy to see, on my machine ... maybe the theme you are using has very narrow borders

# Horizontal window border
# BorderSizeX=6 # [0-128]

# Vertical window border
# BorderSizeY=6 # [0-128]

trying to figure how to add a SendTo - hope GuestToo reads this post and knows how
though it might not be exactly what Bruce B wanted to know ... but it might interest others lurking in the forum and be useful to them

i think pizzapup uses Icewm

edit the hidden file /root/.icewm/preferences (click the Show Hidden Files button on the top of the Rox window) ... add these lines to the bottom of the file:

OpaqueMove=0
OpaqueResize=0

or edit those lines that are already in the file

restart Icewm

unfortunately, configuring the spellchecker in Abiword is a little bit fiddly ... it's not really intuitive you can set the language in the Tools menu to make your configuration the default configuration, you need to save the configuration as an Abiword template as /root/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt
