as with ubuntu, redhat, and certainly windows, puppy doesn't always do exactly what you'd expect it to. sometimes you messed up, and sometimes puppy messed up. it may surprise some people that puppy isn't perfect, because sometimes it comes really close!
and here's a list of niggling things that should possibly, or can easily, be repaired... or at least worked with. when possible, they will be followed by tips to help you (and maybe even devs) tweak, fiddle, and improve with the least effort possible.
thanks to those that contribute, and thanks for your patience. we do it because generally, we love puppy. so here are some bugs, and other bug-like items, (and hopefully workarounds!) found in puppy 2.12. you have to find them to fix them!
broken links in the help system
The help icon on the desktop leads to several (not all of them, at least) broken online and offline links, in Puppy 2.12 and likely a number of other versions.
Future workaround: alienjeff has started to compile a list of these broken links and provide a workaround when possible.
Meanwhile: all pages that do load properly offline should be available from your browser at: file:///usr/share/doc <- local link, only available within puppylinux
ktwi: these fixes should apply to puppy 2.12, and some will likely work in other versions.
thanks to: alienjeff, amish

Looks like the developer is working on the dead links in the local help file's index.html page. From today's entry @ http://www.puppyos.net/news/
"Puppy developers may know about a script /usr/sbin/fixmenus, that was used to update menus when a package was installed and uninstalled. This script became almost redundant with the move to XDG, however there was still the problem of the master help index, /usr/share/doc/index.html -- this is the page that displays when you click on the "help" icon on the desktop or in the menu.
The fixmenus script also added or removed entries from this help file when a package was installed or removed.
Now, fixmenus is totally removed, as I wrote another script, /usr/share/doc/indexgen.sh, that dynamically generates the help index based on what is actually in /usr/share/doc.
The 'createpuppy' script in Unleashed runs 'indexgen.sh' to generate index.html when building the live-CD, and it can also be called from PETget when a package is installed or removed.
The advantage of the new dynamically generated help menu from the user's point of view is that it is always correct. It only has entries for help files that exist, unlike the previous system that had some dud links."
thanks, jeff, good to know.
