Which do you use?
Fvwm or Icewm?
Did it happen with JWM too?
What for a macro?
Does it happen too, if you switch back to JWM?
Also look, if you still have free space, type "df -m" in rxvt.

Well I hope you get back to checking out Puppy a little more, or just Linux in general. Linux is a great operating system once you really get to know it.
Linux takes some time for some people to get used to. As someone already said, you have to unlearn some things that you learned in Windows. But I think you'll find it to be really good.
I've only been on this board for one week, and I have already found the people here are really helpful, so if you've got internet (which apparently you do) you've got access to help to get you around the OS. There are also Linux user groups you can join, as well as many How-to's on the internet.

Well, I don't know how to configure an ethernet port period, but if you know how to do it from the command line, you can add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, which is a script that runs after startup. For example, I have mine set up to mount my filesystems and set up my wireless network.

this particular line shows the space in your pup001 file./dev/loop1 248 3 232 1% /root
you have 248 MB in total from which you have used 3 MB and have 232 MB still available. which means that you are using 1% of the space
I don't know why used + available does not match the Total, I guess that the difference is for the file directory. I haven't been curious enough to investigate.
It all depends how you want to install Puppy.i wanna make a blank hard drive for puppy on my other computer now but idk which format i shouldmake it nor how
If you have enough RAM and prefer to run Puppy in RAM, you can do an type 1 installation. Then you can format the HDD as FAT32 or as ext2 before installing puppy.
If you prefer to do a standard HDD installation (Type 2) where you have the directory structure in your HDD, then you just need to create the partition. (I'd recommend to create a swap partition too), The install script will format the partition and install to it.
To create the partitions you can use cfdisk in an rxvt console.
