Right, time to post before back to study. Hopefully my entire University existence will be over in just a few short hours... last essay. What better way to spend it than procrastinating for a few more minutes on Puppy....anyway....

I've created a pupplet called TigerPup, which is still very much under development. Based on wNOP's Compiz-Fusion scripts, it's become a pupplet in it's own right. I've also added launchers and a script to utilize puppy's easy portability on usb flash drives. TigerPup is being created with the novice computer user in mind; the idea is point and click.

For more info and screenshots, go to: http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/archives/old-wikka-wikki/categoryreleases/tigerpup

Enjoy!

I think every Puppy should work - I would stick to the original and I wouls choose 4.1.2 (I don't like 4.2 so much)

do all puplet derivatives work as multisession discs? (once iso is burned on dvd-r) I'm interested in trying puppy linux or a puplet.

what's a recommended program? something similar to grafpup (intended towards graphic imaging). along with basic user programs like firefox, music player, pdf foxit.

I'm looking for derivatives based on 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 due to my Acer Laptop 5100 not booting with versions other and these.

I've tried
NewYearsPup RC10.
Puppy 4.2.1 retro
Boxpup 4.2.1 retro

A real plus would being able to load in more than 3 sfs files.

My goal is to have a bootable USB with the Puppy Derivative and the ability to run windows applications found at http://portableapps.com/

Thanks

Thom
