Barry: "I've been totally rewriting the remaster-cd script, integrating it with the PupGet package manager, so that users will be able to create a custom CD based on the current installation, but with any choice of pupget or dotpup packages.
I'm trying to make it as easy to use as possible, and I'll look at what you have done [AlienX Script], see if that can be integrated in as well.
What I have got my script doing is if you have installed any pupgets or dotpups, they will get placed into the live-cd, like they are part of the cd, no longer pupgets or dotpups, if you get my drift.
The script also allows for removal of packages that are part of the live-cd, so you can go "backwards" toward a more barebones live-cd."
Puppy will have all the KDE apps "KDE libraries and applications -- just by placing usr_more.sfs in the same hard drive partition as pupxxx, Puppy will have all the KDE apps." (see main News page for details) Search for Search Wiki search facility goes missing Pawed Casting∞

WAG∞ poor man's Net stumbler released as DotPup Krazy Puppy is too krazy: Barry says (see main news page∞) "I've been working on a KDE version of Puppy, however I don't think I'll release a KDE-Puppy live-CD as such, maybe a PupGet package.
I did create a live-CD weighing in at only about 85M, with Koffice office suite, GuardDog firewall, KRecord audio recorder, Kate editor, KGhostview postscript viewer, KPDF PDF viewer, KMail, KNode, KPPP dialup, Konqueror, Kopete messenger, KWifiManager, K3b CD/DVD burner, Kolourpaint, Kaffeine media player, Kaboodle sound file player, Ksnapshot and Filelight disk usage viewer. A nice lot of apps, nicely integrated too, but I had to ask hard questions about what Puppy is all about, and how performance compares to the similar-sized OpenOffice . . ."
