Tried the three suggestions. They will be helpful.

I think it must have been on KDE3, already.
Yup, I prefer that theme.

Thanks,

HTOP was the one that I found via the 'Start Menu'
It was the one that looked very DOS'ish to me.
Also there is a plethora of stuff running there.
Presumably some (most) of it is core essential services ?
Can they be hidden ?

Thanks,
Rob

I guess that exits the GUI And then xwin is the way to start the GUI from 'Dos mode' Forgive me if it is not called that. It worked. All I have to do, is remember all this, as the Linux community appears to be hell bent on avoiding anything similar to Windows, even if the conventions were tried ...

I was just attempting to try your suggestions. I was using the default browser, and I decided to Google for 'Rabbie' to see if I could bring up this thread, in my Lucid session. The browser has frozen, though everything else is responding. Is there an equivalent of Windows Task Manager that I can ...

Sylvander, I agree with your comment, to keep it simple. I have clicked each of my partitions (and CD drawer), and they opened in ROX And I have then opened XFE, and I managed to find them under mnt, as you described. If the world's population were wiped out, and then the miners in Chile dug their ...

Is XFE available for Lucid Puppy ? I searched using the Lucid Program installer, but could not see XFE anywhere. I don't know if it works but XFE is available in the ubuntu repository in Puppy Package Manager - the ubuntu repositories are not enabled by default: Go to Menu>Setup>Setup puppy>Puppy ...

Thanks, you have re-encouraged me to give it a try.

You mentioned that it works in all versions of Puppy.
Have you used it in Lucid Puppy yet ?

Do tell... What does Windows Explorer do that Xfe cannot? :? This is what I like to do in Windows Explorer (or XYPlorerFree) - Navigate the Folders in the left panel. When I select a folder in the left panel, it's child folders show in the Right Panel And of course, any files present are shown in ...

It's not like Windows Explorer

Thanks for response.
Should come in handy for other programs.
I have just heard back from the XFE author and he tells me that it does not do some of the Windows Explorer navigation that I believe is necessary (for me).
So I will give up on XFE.
Thanks for responding
