A small puppy with many basic features, including security updates. Thanks to Marv & greengeek for testing.
Fossa64-Medium v2b is 230mb. It can be extended, if desired.
Version 2b has palemoon 33.1.0 gtk2, gnome-mplayer, osmo, viewnior, xpat2 cards, as well as intel,
nouveau, radeon, dvdcss & gtk3 libs, kernel 5.10.208 & no ydrv, as all additions are in puppy .sfs.
Media is played by clicking on file in ROX-Filer - plays in gnome-mplayer. You may have to change
settings via Edit/Preferences, as I had to set video output to x11, so made that the default.
Also, CD/DVD can be played via gnome-mplayer.
Palemoon can play a decent amount of web media content (youtube, tubitv.com, dailymotion.com etc),
but NOT subscription sites like netflix - need firefox or similar with drm enabled for that.
mhwaveedit can record, edit & play .wav files.
NOTE many audio/video files can be converted via the enclosed ffmpeg's terminal command:
ffmpeg -i input.ext1 output.ext2
Also has basic printer support (my Brother HLL2395DW works with the HP Laserjet 4/5 driver).
Should be easy to swap browser if desired (just swap adrv).
If burnt to CD, has legacy boot only.
It has a cut-down selection of libraries, so programs like zoom, anydesk & localsend will not run.
Video chat sites like talky.io require firefox or similar.
.pets can be added; fdrv can be easily swapped for more firmware. Use at own risk.

History: PhilB made the original fossapup modular, enabling this sort of manipulation.

Palemoon gtk2 browser & basic updater are as adrv.sfs. Included ffmpeg increases available media content.
Set to run as spot. To run as root, edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser & remove 'run-as-spot'.
Updating process (only needed if running as spot): To update Palemoon, close it, & click Update Palemoon (in the Internet Menu).
This temporarily runs Palemoon as root - necessary to allow update. Then click Help, then click Check for Updates.
Will update if possible & then restart needed. Then close Palemoon, then open it from icon - updated version runs, as user spot.
Background image can be changed by swapping in a .jpg as /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jpg, then restarting X.
