OneBone Puppy 2.00r1
Puppy Linux is an evolutionary operating system, based on GNU Linux. more>>
It does have Elinks web browser, Ytree file manager and MP text editor. The Lucent and SmartLink modem drivers are included. There are lots of text-mode applications out there and a very interesting flavour of Puppy could be created, based on this starting point.
Puppy Linux is an evolutionary operating system, based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and thats it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM.
Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.
Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).
QEMU-Puppy 2.15-1
QEMU-Puppy is an OS and a set of applications on a USB memory stick. more>>
Once upon a time, I realized that having your data on a USB memory stick wasnt exactly what I wanted. I wanted more. Carrying your files is nice. Carrying your applications as well would be even better. What the heck, carrying your OS and even your own machine on your memory stick would be the best!
If you have your files on your memory stick, you can take any machine and access those files. Being able to handle the files, depends on the installed software. If you dont want to depend on the installed software, you can put your own software on the memory stick as well. But most of the software needs to be installed, which is not easy, or possible, or desirable, or allowed on a lot of machines. You dont want to pollute a machine you borrowed... Having a complete OS at hand, including applications and files would take away these constraints. Just put everything on a USB memory stick and boot from it.
A bootable USB memory stick has some disadvantages as well. First of all, not every PC is able to boot from USB. Second, if the machine does boot from USB, not all hardware is detected or configured properly, since the hardware "changes" every day. Third, booting from USB "locks" the machine: Its either the natively installed OS or your OS, not both at the same time.
To get rid of these disadvantages, you can carry your own machine as well, not just your files, your applications and your OS. You can do this by buying a laptop. But its expensive, a physical burden and risky. The USB memory stick is cheap, light and easier to protect. A virtual machine , like QEMU, is cheap, light and easy to protect as well. With such a virtual machine, we are able to boot our OS on top of the natively installed OS. Now we have two OSs running concurrently on one machine!
ALT-TAB is enough to hide your machine and get back to work...
The tricky part is trying to have the OS on your USB memory stick to be able to boot natively, as well as in a virtual machine. But it can be done. And thats what this document is all about...
Grafpup 2.00
Grafpup Linux is a desktop Linux operating system based closely on Puppy Linux. more>>
Grafpup is a live cd of only 72mb with current versions of Gimp, Cinepaint, Inkscape, and Scribus. You will be amazed at how much is in there for the size. You will also be amazed at how fast everything runs.
Running from the live cd, the entire operating system loads into ram, including all of the applications. This means that your programs start without any hesitation and respond instantly to your input. Unlike some live cds, however, you dont have to reconfigure every time you reboot.
Grafpup saves all of your settings into a file called pup101 on your hard drive. This file contains your entire home directory, plus any additional programs that you wish to install. Grafpup is also very user friendly, with wizards for doing most system tasks like connecting to the internet and installing to hard disk or usb drive.
There is also a powerful package management system, pupget, with a very extensive and ever increasing list of additional packages available for easy installation. An additional package installer, dotpup, offers single click installation of a long list of software. In other words this is much more than a garden variety live cd. It is capable of being your main operating system and extensible enough to satisfy just about anyone.
How is all of this accomplished? I wish I could take all of the credit but I really have to take my hat off to the developer of Puppy Linux, Barry Kauler. Puppy (and Grafpup) uses the squash filesystem method of compression to reduce the size of the cd image by about two thirds. Then, through the magic of unionfs the whole filesystem becomes writeable again.
For a full explanation please go to the Puppylinux website, www.puppylinux.org. Another aspect of the incredible size to utility ratio is the careful selection of applications that goes into Puppy and has made its way into Grafpup. Applications are chosen for speed and simplicity, avoiding bulky and wasteful code. Grafpup uses icewm as its default (and only) window manager.
KDE or Gnome arent even considered. Opera is used as the default browser and email client, instead of the common combination of Firefox and Thunderbird which would be half again as large. Though small, you will find that ROX-filer is one of the best filemanagers that you will ever use. It just plain works. I have further cut down in certain other areas in order to leave room for some serious heavy duty graphics applications.
Even though things are cut down, you will find that Grafpup is a fairly complete operating system and most tasks can be completed without the need for additional software. You will be able to browse the web, send and recieve email, write and print documents, organize your digital photos, and watch dvd movies and video off the internet.
You will also be able to burn cds and dvds, create impressive graphics and animations, put together professional looking web pages, and create press-ready brochures or other materials for print. And Im talking about the live cd without any additional software.
Visit the Grafpup and Puppy package repositories and you can unlock as much potential as any of the most popular Linux distros out there. There you will find such powerful software as OpenOffice and the Seamonkey internet suite. You can create 3d graphics using Blender, or even install and run a large selection of Windows software using Wine.
Try it and see for yourself. Since it is a live cd there is very little, if any, risk involved. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what can be done using such a tiny system.
Enhancements:
- Grafpup 2.00 (final) is officially on the mirrors. This release comes with some really bleeding edge features when compared with previous versions, such as a 2.6.20.2 kernel, revamped package management with dependency resolution, GIMP 2.3.14, Cinepaint 0.22 with the Ufraw plug-in, a brand new control panel, cdrkit replacing cdrtools, Openbox replacing IceWM, and a host of other changes. In addition to the light-weight Openbox desktop, you can also easily download and install both Xfce and KDE. The software repository has blown up to include over 1,100 titles (and counting).
Puppy Linux 4.2.1
Puppy Linux provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. more>>
Puppy Linux 4.2.1 provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.
Major Features:
- Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).
- Puppy occupies about 50-60M on my USB Flash drive, CDROM, or whatever is the storage media.
- When Puppy boots, everything uncompressed into a RAM area that we call a "ramdisk". The live-CD will bootup on systems with only 32M RAM, but the more RAM you have the more Puppy is able to keep files permanently in ramdisk hence more speed. A PC with 128M RAM is the recommended minimum.
- Note that Puppy will automatically use a swap partition if it exists. When booting from a USB Flash device, Puppy tries to load all the Flash files into physical RAM, but if there is not enough RAM then Puppy is able to copy the excess to a swap partition if it exists. This eliminates writes to the Flash memory during a session, greatly extending its life span.
- You may need to have a swap partition to run Firefox or Mozilla on PCs with less than 64M RAM. Certainly, for a PC with only 32M RAM, a swap partition is necessary to run most of the large GUI applications.
Enhancements:
- CUPS-1.3.10 regressed from 1.4b2 to resolve ongoing issues with CUPS printing.
- Fixed printing from Geany, Leafpad and Gnumeric using CUPS-1.3.10
- Abiword-2.6.3 with 2.6.6 plugins has been patched for improved .doc & .docx support (Liberation ttf fonts required for some documents)
- Pwidgets updated to 2.0.8
- Pcrypt updated to 17 May 2009 release and now requires Ccrypt to function. Bcrypt has been dropped in consequence.
- Ccrypt-1.7 added as dependency for Pcrypt
- MIME-types updated in Rox-2.6.1
- Patches for gtk+ Xinput and b43 broadcom network driver
- Pmusic updated to 0.6.4
- Pschedule updated to 0.7
- Plus previously issued patches for nbtscan, mountcifs, jwm-tray, xsane, network wizard (now at April 4 release), mtpaint-snapshot, gtk+2.12.1-Xinput-fix and pcp (Puppy control panel).
Command line Calculator 1.01
Command Line calculator CLC is the calculator that can calculate direct at the linux console. more>>
Extract the CLCC file to /usr/bin you might need to login as root or equvalent account, to be able to access it whenever you need it.
Then just write CLCC 67+89 and the answer will be presented to you directly.
CLCC calculates from left to right with no exceptions. CLC also have some extra parameters that is sent to CLC using backslash parameters.
CLCC r2 10/3 this will round the result to 2 decimals you can use 1 to 9 if you want to round the sum of.
the r parameter can also be combined with the other parameters but it must be added first like this
CLCC r3c 10/3 - to get 10 diveded with 3 rounded down to 3 decimals.
CLCC is tested with Ubuntu 6.10 and Puppy OS 2.13 but should work with any Linux version in console mode.
The program is developed using Hotbasic for Linux and is Freeware, hope you find it useful, send and email if you have any questions.
Hotbasic is a basic language that compiles into assembler direct, no interpeter that slows down the code, just pure assembler.
So if you want assembler in Linux but doesnt want to code in nasm, HotBasic is the compiler for you.
iPup 1.02
iPup is a simplified build of Puppy Linux for use in institutional settings. more>>
The purpose behind building iPup has been to create a puplet (custom build of Puppy) that is easy for novice users to understand (at least when it comes to getting on the Internet or typing a paper), but not too user friendly when it comes to things like mounting flash drives, CD-ROMs and the like.
Instant messaging, CD ripping software and media players have not been included. Having said this, most, but not all, of the library files found in the standard version of Puppy have also been included in iPup. This allows you to add software with minimal headache.

TinyMe 2007 Test 5
TinyMe project exists to create a remaster of PCLinuxOS 2007 that will be quite slimmed down. more>>
We want to create something that can compete with distros like Puppy, DSL, Feather, NimbleX, and PUD for speed and size while maintaining a similar level of functionality through the GUI.
Username/Password:
tiny/tiny
root/root
Enhancements:
- Fixed most open bugs. Only remaining major open bug (in my opinion) is that TinyMe still doesnt auto mount removable media.
- I switched to GDM. This allows us greater flexibility with our login manager. Also, it enables Shutdown and Reboot options on logout.
- AbiWord was installed, with all the plugins your heart desires. Create and edit ODT, DOC, WPD, and many other formats.
- Idesk now handles the desktop instead of PCManFM.
- Enabeled LXPanel transparency.
- Added Grafburn for burning CDs and DVDs. Thanks to Nathan Fisher of Grafpup for Grafburn.
- Created Welcome page. Fire up Opera to see it. (Did I mention Opera handles web browsing, mail, Bittorrent, and IRC chat?)
- Conky is a SuperKaramba-like desktop monitoring applet which has been added. GKrellm was fired. :-)
- Do you like music? Audacious was added. Audacious is a lot like WinAmp and you can use WinAmp themes on it.
- MEdit proved to be somewhat buggy. Although I rather liked it, I opted to use SciTE instead. Enjoy.
- Changed Mrxvt to the default terminal. Mrxvt is a tabbed terminal, plus it has some pretty cool transparency.
- Galculator is a quite small calculator added to test 5.
- Xarchiver has been added for its wonderous abilities to open just about any compressed archive, including RPMs and ISOs.
- MtPaint was added. MtPaint is a very basic picture editor. You can also use MtPaint to take a screenshot.
- XKill has been added and a menu entry created for those balky programs which hang on you.
- Tweaked overall look n feel some more. Added 2 wallpapers (okay, its 1 wallpaper; 1 is 4:3, the other 16:10)
ULTILEX 2.1.0
ULTILEX brings users a versatile Live CD Linux distribution which contains other Live Linux distributions, such as Slax, Finnix, Puppy or DSL more>>
When you boot, the first thing you see is a beautiful startup screen where you can choose which Live Linux distribution to run. The current version of ULTILEX is 2.1.0 and it "wraps" the following Live Linux distributions:
- Slax 6.0.9
- Finnix 92.1
- System Rescue CD 1.1.6
- Puppy Linux 4.1.2
- Damn Small Linux 4.1.10
To install on USB flash device, follow these steps (applied from Slax):
- Copy all files and folders from the CD to the root folder of your USB flash device.
- Execute "/boot/bootinst.sh" (for Linux), or " oot ootinst.bat" (for Windows).
- Thats all. You are ready to boot ULTILEX from your USB flash device!
- One very interesting feature of ULTILEX is that you can easily install it on USB flash device and save the changes youve made during the live session on it.
- You can modify files and even install/remove modules and all your changes are saved on the USB flash.
Enhancements:
- "System Rescue CD" is updated to version 1.1.6
- Some minor bugs are fixed.
Ubuntu Lite 1.1
Ubuntu Lites idea is to bring the power of Ubuntu across to the users of Legacy systems. more>>
The idea is to bring the power of Ubuntu to the typical users of Legacy hardware (ie the grandma who gets an old P2 set up for her but does not know how to use it).
So to this end the Operating system needs to be:
* Easily used by people with minimal computer skills
* Useable on a resurected system (see system specifications below)
* and is able to satisfy a typical users requirement of Applications and functionality.
These are the three core aims of the Ubuntu Lite Project.
We will also provide development guides to anyone who wants to trim down their versions or help others use linux on reconditioned hardware. I hope that you enjoy Ubuntu Lite and that you find it useful.
MultiLinux Live DVD 0.1
MultiLinux Live DVD contains a number of bootable live distributions, all available for selection from the initial GRUB menu. more>>

- Modern architecture: kernel 2.6, udev with autosymlinks, module autoloading, based on Arch linux
- Based on uclibc and busybox
Some key software:
- Full 2.6.15 kernel with modules, with autodetection and udev. Takes about 60% of livecd size.
- Installer for Arch linux
- wifi drivers and utils: hostap,wlan-ng, madwifi, ndiswrapper...
- Grub as main bootloader
- Midnight Commander

- Hardware compatible with 2.6.15 kernel, for very old computers (486) is Damm small linux or Puppy linux better choice, becouse of 2.4 kernel
How was it made?
I take uclibc and busybox (software for embedded linux) and compile base system from scratch. I add initscripts from Arch linux, they are very easy to understand and modify. With some other software and modular kernel 2.6 I got system with about 70 MB. After compression with squashfs I got 30 MB big initrd image. Now it was easy to create an CD image.
