Hi, Here "./mklive-bullseye32 -gui" ran to completion in Debian 11.1 with no errrors apparent. I'm interested to use it on a desktop machine lacking a CD drive.

> just curious why you prefer openbox if you wish to work from a graphical terminal? I don't need most of the apps iconized. A bare display with ability to pop a terminal is preferable.

> Do you mean switch desktop window manager from JWM to openbox?

Hi,

In a full installation, does the system use only one partition?

Hi, from what I've read, a Puppy system has one user, root or supervisor. Correct? Seems a good idea for a single user workstation. Can the user have an alias name? I didn't find a FAQ about this. Is the topic in documentation? Does any other Linux system have only one user? Thanks, ... Peter E.
