The 'standard' live-CD has JWM, but Fvwm95 and IcwWM are available as packages:
http://www.puppylinux.com/faq.htm Non-standard versions may also have others like xfce.

You can't use apt-get in Puppy, but it has its own package manager which automatically installs the packages available as .pet packages.

Thanks for reply,
Pratically I want to install openssh-server and tightvnc to use the puppy on thin client.

How to convert for eample the debian vnc end openssh to puppy installable.
Or where can I find theses packages.
thanks a lot

I can't help you with that - I have no idea what you are talking about

There's reference to tightvnc here (but I don't know if that's what you're after):

I ve installed the pb-debianinstaller, but I ran it following the doc, I got error :
sh: line 0 cd: /tmp/PB-Debinstall no such file or directoty

and a popup window :

ghttpd is not configured to run localhost
to use widget edit /root/ghttpd/http.cfg and set line SERVER_HOSTNAME="localhost"

the file /root/ghttpd/http.cfg doesn't exist , I created it , but same problem. I think tere is no server to accept the request. I check the /etc/init.d no server at all!!!!

thanks for help
best regards

May be this can help

when I run dillo I get error libgtk-1.2.so.0 no such file ??

I have installed puppy 4.0, I installed dillo and pb-debianinstaller from 3.0 repository, because these prog are not on repository of 4.0 ??!!

perhaps I come back to 3.0

thanks for help
