Asking: Any slim version in 64bit?

Nice wondows remember look

mistfire, have you considered using a zdrv? That way people can take out unneeded drivers with zdrv_cutter.

@Pelo which is better media player xfmedia or mplayer? Does xfmedia (including dependencies) occupies less space than mplayer?

@Sailor Enceladus I still considered it however I decided to drop it because of big file size. I just want to make this puppy as small as possible much better if I reached it to less than 130Mb or lower.

I like this version very much, posting from it right now, and it is working very well on a Dell Inspiron.

Thanks, mistfire.

Youre welcome @festus.

Xfmedia does its job.
In a Puppy XFCE, Choose XFMEDIA, as your goal is a slim Puppy. About the size, i suppose XFmedia is much less than Mplayer.
Don't trust me too much, because never i created a slim puppy myself. My proposal are to test.
Run Saluki (13 or 23) to get ideas.
Parole plays all Medias excepted DVDs in X-slacko Slim , but plays only DVDs and CDs in 5.3.3 XFCE Jejy 69 , not files Who could understand ?

Just set this up using a manual frugal install with some other pups on an old Toshiba laptop (800MHz 320MB). Had some initial trouble with xorg but it is working fine now. I have not tried Slacko before. I have tried a number of "barebones" pups before. Although this is more slim than barebones I like it and in particular I like the layout of the menus. I will spend some more time playing. Thanks for this.

Regards,

Ken.

@Pelo its okay. I'm just getting some references.

@escucha Im sorry to say that x-slacko is 32 bit only. Sorry for late reply.

New iteration of X-slacko Slim has been released

Changelog:
* Organized PPM .package directory structure
* With MTP client
* It has a feature to convert Slitaz, Tiny Core Linux, Alpine Linux, and Pisi Linux packages into PET packages
* xfmedia replaced mplayer.
* Some fixes on the scripts in puppy.
* The ISO files was slightly enlarged due to webkitgtk and gstreamer

Hello Mistfire how about a statically linked no-gui Mplayer
http://smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog ... led.tar.gz

It is a single file

Small Gui version.
http://smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog ... 6_i386.deb

You'll need to convert second one to .pet.

thank you @Robert123. I tried that packages however the files are big. Can you help me to find a smaller version of midori, webgtk, go-mtfs, and gstreamer?

Technosaurus made this:

I sometimes use tinycore packages
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/7.x/x86/tcz/

You'll need tcz2pet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=97633

@Robert123 Okay I will try use tiny core linux packages. tcz2pet is already included on latest version of X-slacko Slim. technosaurus midori was too old. I need midori browser which was released in 2013 or even 2015 where HTML5 is fully implemented.

@mistfire Have you given up on QtWeb that was suggested in an earlier post. I am using it now. I think it's about 8MB. Is this too big. I believe it's still supported so you should be able to get an up to date version. Here is their url http://www.qtweb.net/. I got the .pet on this forum but I can't remember where. If your interested I'll look for it.

Regards,

Ken.
