This is a derative of Puppy Linux

My problem is with the rox package manager. I can open the package by single click of the mouse.

Any advice on this problem

Sorry if you were upset but telling you this works should help you focus on the solutions.

It is quite outdated in Linux terms and looks quite terrible like win98 style.
As I said you should not stick with it too much and find other better.

Dolphin is a good file manager, but will not function outside of KDE

PCManFM is very good and preferred by many; others like Thunar
