I know some people think it is less important than I do, but I think you need a way to keep the stuff that's hooked up to the package manager separate from the stuff that isn't, or at least keep track of what is being upgraded automatically and what isn't.

Re: DARKPUPPY: Fossapup64 Reloaded
Hello @sonny Took a look, today, by booting the ISO file via SG2D. I did try via Ventoy, but it stalls. Few questions This distro does NOT have a version number. Will it be ongoing, by versions? The familiar taskbar of a PUP is not present. Am I missing a key to bring it up? Your picture in your op...

Re: DARKPUPPY: Fossapup64 Reloaded
It's probably some setting when you make the ISO.
I'll try to figure it out later if someone else doesn't come by with the answer.

Re: DARKPUPPY: Fossapup64 Reloaded
I'm having trouble with the ISO. I tried to download it more than once. In DD, where .iso's can always be mounted and opened with the fiiemnt command on right click, it fails with an error. In MX, the archiver extracted it, but all the files were all caps. I haven't tried in puppy, but I don't think...
