I dont understand which Puppy linux distribution is best for me, or even what the advantage of one over the other is. I...

Re: terminal todo list
temporialy and permanent if you dont want to maintain a ~/bashrc.d dir or configs in /etc I have thought of the possibility of numbering. Not only the tasks (filenames) but also the file content lists. so something like fin4 or todoreplace7 for inside the file reading up a bit when I have a chance.

EDIT: I definitely don't know how to get that to work as a standalone script. not a standalone script, but I can add functions to a file and then source the file. for instance if put all your *add, *replace, and *print functions into todo.sh, then run source todo.sh at the prompt, it lets me run al...

Re: terminal todo list
Well the todoadd.sh , todoreplace.sh , and todoprint.sh , along with the corresponding finadd.sh , finreplace.sh , and finprint.sh are indeed bash functions. I have placed them in my /etc/bash/bashrc.d folder and that's all that is necessary to run them sorry , I missed that change in functionality...

At first bootup, assumes hw clock is local time. Subsequent bootups, reads /etc/localtime symlink in the @qv folder and copies it, as well as what it points to, into the initrd.

Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!
Why does anyone think we can only submit, only one specific Puppy version to DistrWatch. No reason 2, 3, 4, or more of the very good recent new versions could not be submitted. you would have to ask distrowatch about that. I was entertaining the idea that the distrowatch listing could point to a pa...
