The above common situation being a great pity and really unnecessary since an easy matter to have used $HOME instead of a hard-coded /root. We have tested (and sometimes included) several traditional Puppy dotpets in DebianDog - those coded to use $HOME generally worked without modification, others needed the hard-coded /root altered to $HOME. I suppose some Puppy utility writers had no interest in their apps working in other distributions than Puppy, but why limit a program unnecessarily?Sailor Enceladus wrote:BarryK wrote:The thing is, there is so much dependency on the home directory being /root. So many PET packages have /root hard-coded.
