    I changed as root the Client0_Command in /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
    but made a typo.. Result is that I'm getting now a blank desktop with only the Acer search bar. I need to correct the error but the context menu which I activated beforehand to get the terminal program is not working and also alt+F2 is not working. Is there any other way to access the above file? I don't want to make a full recovery just because that.. Thanks a lot for your help

    You could fix it if you booted into a LiveUSB distro such as ubuntu or fedora, then accessed the internal HDD and change the file from there.

    Take out any SD card you have in either slot - older versions of Puppy object to that for some reason (there are at least two new puplets [Puppy derivatives] built with the 2.6.27 kernel that don't have this problem).
