What is unxz or the .xz extension used by Barry K?
.xz is the latest compression type, much smaller than .gz or .bz2 or zip. The 'unxz' utility decompresses it, and it is then piped to 'dd' -- the "|" is the pipe operator, which means that the output of the unxz operation becomes the input to dd.
If downloading via a Windows PC you will need an extractor that supports the "'.xz" file extension for compressed files. Winrar didn't support it. Download another 'universal extractor' in order to then install via the Win32diskimager program.

How was sap6 created?

What needs fixing?

How do I compile programs in Puppi Sap?
You need the devx
Puppy can be transformed into a complete compile environment by the installation of just one file, that we refer to by the generic name of "devx". In this case it is 'devx_sap6_5.91.sfs'. Normally, the Bootmanager can be used to install and uninstall SFS files, however due to the manner in which Puppy is installed on the SD card, it is necessary to click on the devx file to open it, then copy all the files into "/" -- see instructions at http://puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm. I have not tested the devx. If anything is missing out of it, fixes welcome. Note that as well as C/C++ support, the devx has Vala, Genie and BaCon compilers, see http://bkhome.org/genie and http://bkhome.org/bacon -- BaCon is enhanced BASIC and is our recommended language for all newbies who want to be able to create fast and small compiled apps. Note, there is also an IDE for BaCon, and a GUI RAD, but not yet included in the devx.
Lobster note: I am going to test devx now

How do I send email?
Use Gmail, yahoomail or other cloud email service for now
We need a working mail client, working options welcome
