I would like to thank Chum_Bucket for all the work help and support to get this operating system out. and to all the regulars from the #puppylinux irc chat who have helped in small ways here and there. Thanks for being such a supportive team.

Fishers Of Men pup (FOMpup) is our operating system. A tool for fast and easy bible study, to be given away as a tract and it can also be used as a standalone operating system. Download the .iso. Then all you need is a cd or a usb flash-drive, and a computer that can boot from usb or/and cd.
FOMpup is built using Puppy Linux an already fast, stable and reliable operating system. The version that we used to build from was lupu-525 and has been modified to make it more fast and efficient. Here are some of the changes we have applied.
FOMpup comes pre-installed with:
FOMpup-1.0 Alpha 2 Thanks again to Chum_bucket
Ok some fixes to problems reported from the initial test. Also found some leftover locale files so result is actually nearly 4MB smaller

FOMpup comes pre-installed with:
- * American Standard HTML Bible (runs in web browser so keeps size down)
* link to e-sword online bible (a very comprehensive set of bible tools)
* an audio bible (listen to the bible)
* link to online study tools (easy tools to aid in your bible study)
* an interactive tract or 2
* list of local churches for New Zealand
* Link to New Zealand Christian bookshop. (find all you christian resources in one easy to use place)
- * Firefox: a decent web browser
* Thunderbird: all in one email client
* Pidgin: messenger client for all you messaging needs, MSN, Google chat, irc, Facebook chat, etc
* Mplayer: all in one multimedia player.
* Pmusic: small simple music player.
* Easy to set up Internet broadband or wireless device. Some Dialup devices
* Abiword: simple Document creating.
- * A nice graphical grub boot
* We have used a cut down version of xfce4.2 which gives a clean fast user-friendly desktop.
* Wbar (bar at top with apps) was used for easy access the most common applications.
* Trimmed and cut down of unnecessary libraries.
* Added nicer courser and fonts for a better look.
* And many other changes that help to make FOMpup fast and efficient.
FOMpup-1.0 Alpha 2 Thanks again to Chum_bucket
Ok some fixes to problems reported from the initial test. Also found some leftover locale files so result is actually nearly 4MB smaller
- * Restored Dejavu_sans as had lost some language font support using the full TTF set previously used.
* Rolled back to Pidgin 2.7.10 as 2.8.0 was displaying chat users incorrectly.
* Set 'Home' icon to rox and added defaultfilemanager file as is sometimes needed.
* Pgprs was not missing...it is installed on demand but have left it in as only tiny.
*Usbflash installer was broken as missing syslinux files... restored from the 5.2.8 instant update. This also provided the firewall launcher inadvertently left out previously and some minor updates.
- * There was report that a save file was not being made at shutdown. I have failed to reproduce this so further investigation needed....a copy of /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE might shed some light.
* Also reported that a touch-pad needed manually setting up (tapping)...again to be investigated....any input on these matters is appreciated. Note I had to run Flsynclient and change tap time to >0 for it to work for me (similar to the xorg.conf approach). Also benefitted from a speed increase... ie the defaults are not that desirable it seems. Also if the synaptics specific driver fails to load tapping works by default.
