Re: Palemoon icon(launcher)

I will confess, the remark from ron_1:-
Pup uses the JWM/ROX-filer 'pinboard' combo. You can drag the executable directly to the 'pinboard' (desktop icon grid), tart it up with an icon, and there's your launcher. A recent feature in newer Puppies allows you to place a launcher in the Menu with 3-4 GUI clicks. Ditto for placing one in the 'Quick Launch' area. You can place custom launcher scripts in /root/my-applications/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin/, usr/local/bin.....reference any of these from the Menu, the Quick Launch area (or drag-to-desktop).....honestly, the list is endless.
I, personally, run a single instance of the current Palemoon from a remote, auto-mounted partition, and have custom MenuEntry packages which I simply click-to-install whenever I set-up a new Puppy.
Many, many ways to achieve the same outcome, though there's no getting away from the fact that Pup's 'run-as-root' user model makes doing so much of this kind of thing very much easier than more 'mainstream' distros.....

.....is extremely relevant here. Doubtless moonraker, and various other Puppy users on here will agree with me; for those of us who are 'proficient', there are a ton of different ways to get a launcher for Palemoon.That depends how proficient the OP is on Linux.
