Every Fossapup boot I customize the desktop to stay in live mode. It takes anywhere from 8 to 30 minutes.

I decided to remaster removing at least:
Pale Moon (outdated)
Games (except 2)
Figaro

There were two -DEV packages removal warnings from selecting the main packages (one I think for Figaro & the other a game), yet I didn't see the -DEV packages specifically listed for removal by the remaster script dialog.

I also don't remember seeing the opportunity to manually edit the .sfs builds except for /etc and /root.

The plan was then to adrv a custom desktop (e.g., no wallpaper, 2nd tray, modified 1st tray).

My 1st remaster was so buggy it's unusable, I assumed highlighting the technical sophistication/nuance of the distro plus the fact the remaster script is old & carried forward from past releases.

When I pressed the up arrow, 3 instances of mtpaint ran. The two red boxed sections in JWMDesk didn't work when clicked:

The standard Fossapup wallpaper is PERSISTENT & always seems to display, e.g., after a remaster despite being cleared or any time restarting X.

I think I'll get more used to Fossapup but the process is definitely more involved than I expected.

Which Fossapup, aufs system or overlay? If aufs, did you try the remaster scripts in my suite (there are two methods, the alternative method will give you the opportunity to make changes to the whole system before it's finally repacked). BTW - I've always found the "remove builtin packages" application not to be working correctly in all instances. For best results and to remove all traces, remove builtin applications manually.

The regular Main distro whichever that is.

Here success in limited attempts with older pups
