Precise Puppy tagainijisho folies


Precise Puppy linux running in RAM on a netbook is a delight — but surely no ordinary user could have configured the tagainijisho app to run after install !

The problem was not just the absence of Qt libraries; the challenge was to configure and update the package manager so as to find them !

The chief reason to use a variant of Ubuntu linux ceteris paribus is precisely the pkg manager.

The Precise Puppy 5.4.3 ISO may have been built before the optional packages were in the respective repositories.

Had the last step in ISO preparation been an update of the pkg mgr, could this stumbling block have been avoided ?

Not entirely ... not without a menu item and with Tagaini installing elsewhere than /opt ... the user still required a script.
