Hello!
As for '*' where '0' should be (or vice versa), usually, NUM LOCK might need toggling. This one occasionally even throws ME for a loop on new laptop installs. As for the LVM/encryption issues, this is a problem with Ubiquity, Ubuntu's installer.
I don't know about anyone else, but *I* found it quite a pain indeed to install packages into Puppy that just plain install on other distros without causing major grief. I SURE didn't want to go to the trouble of converting things to their package format to install and run on Puppy! Besides, unless I'm misinformed, doesn't Puppy use a older, smaller kernel - one that can cause issues when installing newer packages?
Unfortunately, speed and small size come at a price, and that price is flexibility, compatibility, and all-around ease of use. I think the crew here has done an outstanding job with balancing these...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
