I updated the iso.
isolinux.cfg was missing the parameter ramdisk_size=29000
Burned a CD, and can boot from it.
But on my desktop, all the USB-modules for my mouse are unused.
I tried 2 different mice on different controllers, so there must miss a module.
I load them in /etc/rc.d/rc.local0
Hope we can sort this out.
On my laptop, the USB-mouse works.
On boot, you have a 1000 second timeout now, and can choose to use acpi or not.

I removed more music-libs from /usr/local/lib/
Now the iso is only 12.2 MB
If you don't need the supplied applications, you could gain another 2-3 MB.

In Puppy 109
/etc/mousedevice psaux
/etc/mousebuttons 5
readlink /dev/mouse
/dev/psaux
In micromuppy
/etc/mousedevice input/mice
/etc/mousebuttons 5
and changing to psaux made no difference.
I also tried on a usbflash drive with wakepup today and had to add ramdisk_size=29000 to make it start otherwise I got kernel panic.

the last update had broken the iso again, as I made that on a second computer.
Here I now had to modify the initrd-editor (set the pad-value to 900 from 600).
I tested this new iso now in qemu, and it works.
Sorry Lobster.
Please try again.
Phil:
I must make more tests, to solve that issue, have no idea atm.
Amish:
I added transset, and a utility to set windows transparent.
Sage:
According to the picopup-thread, picopup seems to run on 486.
But the things I added, might run on a Pentium only.
It uses a 29 MB-ramdisk, so 32 MB might be sufficient.
Please try it

Ok, in qemu my mouse works like this (qemu uses PS/2 emulation)
On the startscreen choose:
3: exit
Then type:
echo psaux>/etc/mousedevice
rm -f /dev/mouse
ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse
xwin
I will add a menu-point for that later.

uploaded version 002.
Changes:
- startscreen lets you choose between USB or PS/2 mouse
- JWM "power off" should work now.

Mark; Looks like what I was messing with about 6 months back, very interesting.
It's a tough call, build up or strip down, each has it's advantages.
I got kdrive running on PicoPup, but I don't have MU's ability at making apps. work.
I'm running EmptyCrust-1.0.7, here's the info:
/etc/mousedevice = psaux
readlink /dev/mouse = /dev/psaux
I posted a problem I'm having jumping from the bootup Save & Squash to new ones.
Before login the boot ones have no user settings or working apps. for security.
I hope it can be done without rebooting, otherwise I'm in for a major rework.

Yum! Is this available for Icewm as well? It would be great to have that feature in the new CE version, as part of the beautification efforts.
Cheers

transset:

It does not work with the original Xvesa in Puppy, just with xorg or the recompiled xvesa from micro muppy.

This is pure fun - X and file manager work and the file manager can load applications!
Time to learn PuppyBasic, the included programming language, and to search for PuppyBasic applications.

Thanks, Mark. It works fine. Can this be made the default condition for Inactive windows? If so, how would that be achieved?
Thanks again
