   Hmm. I never really read up on Puppy, but I was always under the impression it   
   was just a smaller distro where you had to do a lot of the work yourself, like   
   ArchLinux or Gentoo. And that *buntu was the Linux with training wheels for   
   dummies. :)   
      
   BTW, here's the first reply using Michiel's care package. Though while I was   
   adding everything, I realized I don't use CP850 as my local charset here like   
   you do. Here's hoping..   
      
   Regards,
