Hi there

This is just a note to you, if anyone who is having problems getting Purebasic to work with Puppy Linux, it is very simple, After a day of researching I have figured this out. Since Puppy doesn't use apt-get, any sudo or apt-get command will not work. Also Puppy makes you the root user.

What you ned to do, is Instead you need to download the following:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... vx_511.sfs

Copy this file over to /mnt/home

Now go to "Menu | System | Boot Manager Bootup", select the 1st option and adding the dev, reboot puppy and it will have all the development packages added in. Thats it

Of course, I'm using Puppy Linux on USB install so it saves all my session now.

Hope this helps someone

Also remember, if your sample are sluggish with 2d, then install the proper linux driver then it works flawlessly

Kind Regards
Nadeem
