   Open Quickpet in bottom Shelf.
   Click on more pets in top taskbar and pick Puppy Package Manager.
   After it opens.

   Click on Configure Package Manager Button.
   On the next Window that opens.
   There is
   1. ubuntu lucid main
   2. ubuntu lucid mutiverse
   3. ubuntu lucid universe

   Click the three buttons/checkmarks. Hit OK button

   A terminal window will open asking if you wish to download packages. Say yes.
   Do this for all following terminal windows that open.
   When downloads are done. This takes a while so be patient. Close Puppy Package Manager. Close Quickpet.

   Go back to bottom shelf and open quicket again and Puppy Package Manager like you did above in my previous instructions.

   What it should look like now

   Hmmmmmmmm   I guess I should have read your well written comments more carefully...  ; )

      I spent a lot of time downloading the mirrors ..  then waiting for the ppm to do something .. 
         well..   *cough*   i restarted the ppm but it did not show any indication ..
     then i followed your last instruction ..    wow..  now i am downloading nearly 330mb
       hahaha   i want to try out playonlinux via macpup ...  it works quite well for my purpose in
        Linux Mint ..     My goal is to have Linux on usb flash drive..   along with my e-learning material
      one question i do have .. when i shut down ...  the message says ...  saving session ..
        but this could go on for more than one hour ...  so i wonder ?

   I left out one important step. I can be flaky like that sometimes writing instructions because I know what to do in my mind but forget to transfer that to the keyboard.

   One should use the test urls button first before downloading.

   Yeah. Pendrive installs (frugal installs) take forever to save to a large save file. I bet (just a guess) your personal save file is 1 gig or more.  Pendrive write speeds are slow at best depending on how much you spend on a good pendrive with fast write speeds. Platter drives and SSD drives like on my EEEPCs write a bit faster than pen drives or sd flash cards like class4 cards.

   I am broke half the time but if funds provide. I will be investing in some class 10 flash drives eventually.

   Something else you can do is to keep stuff like you documents,pictures and music out side of the save file on your flash drive.
