 Sounds like there are two issues here.

 First is that the TBB script has no config option to override our "don't
 be root" line. I bet if you provide a diff we'll add it.

 Second is that it would appear Puppy can't run TBB successfully. Perhaps
 the static Vidalia build doesn't have enough components? Might be that
 running TBB with the debug flag will provide more useful details about why
 it fails.
