Puppy can make use of programs that have been [[http://puppylinux.org/wikka/software packaged in the SFS format]] which consist of a single file with the file extension //.sfs//
==Using SFS software packages within Puppy==
Package installation:
- place the SFS file at ///mnt/home//, then
- either (A) follow the instructions at (requires re-booting): //Menu > System > ""BootManager""//
- or (B) follow the instructions at (does not require re-booting): //Menu > Setup > [[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=490716#490716 SFS-Load]]//
- soon [[http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02202 another option]] will be available
Program operation:
- accessed through either the //Menu// or the command-line interface (and not by clicking on the SFS package file)
