hi all
this post is in part an answer to both
the perennial question of a stripped down puppy
but also a suggestion on how puppy could be improved
the heart of puppy is
1. the concept (small fast flexible full featured)
2. and all the cool apps developed by the puppy community
the puppy boot process and the use of a unionfs
are irrelevant and unnecessarily complex
my suggestion is to replace them with
apps symlinked into a ramdrive
this system is far more simple robust and flexible
than the current puppy system
probably the tinycore and dcore ramdrives
would be a good place to start
and they could be modified to include what is desired from puppy
i have no dog in this race since i am satisfied with what i use
i now use
upupbb32 (a very polished system) thanks peebee
tinycore (corepup)
and dcore (which uses the debian stretch repository)
just food for thought
