KLA-OT2baseCE-1.1 ( 766 MiB )

@Sofiya

Yes. It looks ready to be added.

In KLV the service is enabled and on at boot by default. This can be changed.

I will add some code and make the service turn on and off in samba.sh.
I do not want the service to idle when samba is disabled.

Hi, theres a solution to this. You can do almost everything using visual resources, and forget commands.

Go to F96CE-XFCE- FUSILLI and you can do everything you need using software.

PupControl, pupadmin, Fusilli and much more resources prepared to make puppy easier.

You dont need to be a developer to use them, and if u need something special you can always ask.

Give it a try

...
I am note trying to criticise developers of these OSs. They are doing something I cannot do myself and I am very grateful for their efforts which is something that I don't think is said enough in this forum but I would also like to say that as a member of this forum with little knowledge of the command line or how these OSs are put together that there must be a place for me and those like me to help. I think we need some honesty as to where in the development this can take place and whether a particular OS would be more suited to more knowledgeable linux users. I can only say that doing what I've done over the last days with no success is just demotivating. I am not trying to be controversial here. I am simply expressing an opinion. I may be the only member of this forum that holds this opinion.
...

I agree that essential things like keyboard choice, timezone setup etc... should be easy to do, without terminal commands, so you're not alone.
