Details about Muppy and the basic concepts:

In short:
Muppy partially supports german.
It includes all programs from Puppy 211, except those based on Seamonkey.
Instead, it uses Firefox and Sylpheed.
It has also additional programs like Java, Wine, PB-CD-ripper 1.5, mplayer, XFileExplorer, Adsl-start, upx, Icewm with 50 themes, Editor adie (can edit binary files to translate words in them), Gslapt Package installer for Slackware-Linux programs...
In Rox-filer, click on a Windows .exe to run it.
Or on a .jar, to run it with Java.
When you click on a video, you get the choice to play it full-screen, or try the xvmc-graficsdriver (supports only some cards, makes them faster and reduces processor-usage, for xorg only).
Different to Puppy, a Muppy-ISO includes two ".sfs"-files.
pup_211.sfs includes the basic system, and loads completely to Ram on a 256 MB-computer.
At startup, you get the choice to use the additional programs in "mupp_211.sfs".
These will not load to memory, but run from CD. So those are slower.
This does not matter so much, as you will not often use Wine or Java, and you need only 1 module for grafics-accelleration, not all 16.
As your CD-drive cannot be used to watch a DVD then, I included a "Speed-Wizard".
It offers to copy those 2 .sfs -files to your harddisk, for better performance and a free CD-drive.
This wizard only can be used, if you saved your settings at shutdown.
If you already used a older version of Muppy or Puppy 2.x, I highly recommend to delete or rename the following files on your harddisk:
pup_211.sfs
mupp_211.sfs
pup_save.3fs <- (this contains your personal files and settings, so do not delete, only rename it)
Do not do it, while they are in use, this could create lost entries on your harddisk.
Instead, boot Muppy with the option
puppy pfix=ram

Fixes an error with the Gnome-windowlist (taskbar).
Fixes an error when pup_save.3fs was not created on drives with many partitions.
You can run Gnome from
Utilities - other utilities - Gnome-2.14.2
Note, Mini-Gnome is not intended as a full desktop environment.
Muppys "Main-desktop" still is Icewm with the Xfce-taskbar/panel.
It only shall enable you to run Gnome-based applications, that rely on the included libraries.
For example the project-management program "Planner":
