************************************************************************
Porteus the best live cd I have tested in years
note this is an unofficial tool
I know that Porteus has an elegant GUI package management app
and with all due respect I didnt write this to replace PPM.
I wrote this before there was PPM or before I used Porteus
for my own personal use and have been used to using it
and I wanted to see if it would work on Porteus to help me
get comfortable quickly installing packages
so I will be testing this on Porteus
and making adjustments to code if needed
so far I havent needed to edit a single thing it works out of the box
it is for any old school slackware users that would like a simple GUI
I spent a long time rewriting pkgtool to use Xdialog and cut out a lot of un used code
and added dependency checking NOT dependency resolving
it is much faster than pkgtools if anyone ever poked around in pkgtools its a massive script
to figure out
I wrote this for a base OS that didnt use slackware packages
the reason for any duplicate files that would be in Porteus
