Ever since sfs files came on the scene, this is almost what I have envisioned as a puppy linux derivative. Stripped down and then modularized for total customization. Very, very good work.

I just wanted to thank you for wake pup. That amazing piece of software allowed me to install puppy on a Compaq 4220 that can not boot off the CD.

Even if that will work, is there a way to change the host name, or remaster the CD to have a different host nam...

I am helping a small mission school in Niger and as such are always on a shoestring budget, so we have been looking at puppy (1.0.5) to extend the life of some of our more elderly machines. Most are AMD K6 300 ish 64MB RAM, dead bios because of soldered in, dead, unreplaceable bios batteries. We hav...
