just a note for all, there is a propper 5.3 thread now. It's listed on the 5.3 wikka entry.

Since you've renoticed Laughing

this topic Lobster.

I'll give you a thought.

6/ Change the way puppy stores additional applications and pets from using the personal storage file to using a predefined "applications.sfs" file that bases itself from /, and make it that only the /root components go into the personal storage file. This should decrease it's expotential growth and make it easier and faster to backup/restore. It will increase a rebuild time as you would need to reinstall your apps, but you should have a cleaner system in the end.

Loading SFS in and out or some sort of module based Puppy is something
that has been proposed since the 2 series and before (Nathan experimented with this approach with the Grafpup fork). . .

The use of a core of SFS in Slickpet (5.3 Quickpet)
is dependent on what is compiled and available . . . Cool
