Hi musher0 thanks for your query.
The savefile is 128mb - I know bigger than most puppy distros.
Explanation
I have a laptop with 500gb hdd and 8gb ram.
My favourite distro is Artistx, ubuntu based creative distro with absolutely everything @ 4GB ... but it isn't as easy to use as puppy, neither does it boot to ram in the right way ... currently it would need 24gb+ ram!!! So I decided to build my own distro based upon puppy 5.7.1 ... it retains all the original progs and scripts, plus a few of my own and several edits, and configuration changes. I have compiled so many dependencies and programs which I didn't maintain a list for. This version linked here is a beta version in which the savefile creation script gets interrupted at line 343 because it cannot stat something ... anyway, the beta works great as a live DVD. If you know a little about puppy then you will be able to perform a frugal or full install without much hastle. As for listing the programs, just download it and try it!! I already did enough work on it.
However I have just completed fixing all known issues and a new image is ready called Puppy-Linux-EmSee-1st-Edition. It has a dark theme which is black-blue-grey-green mostly and is easy on the eyes and the battery! I wish to distribute it on sandisk cruzer extreme usb 3.0 sticks (190mb/s transfer speed). The distro doesn't come with a savefile, it now creates one correctly. The extra ramdisk device is automatically created and maintained in the installation directory or /mnt/home/EmSee directory! The ramdisk creation scripts are my own programs and i retain copyright. I will make them availale as an .pet .sfs .deb at some time.
Puppy-Linux-EmSee-1st-Edition - Is working excellently and doesn't get any of the issues I typically encounter on such distros as AV Linux, ArtistX, Ubuntu Studio, Studio 1337, Puredyne, 64Studio ...etc ...etc Having used all of those I can say this distro tops all of them for several reasons.
This edition has latest Steam2, Minecraft, VirtualBox, Python, Chromium, Seamonkey, Unetbootin, Audio applications, LibreOffice, KDEnlive, - can't list it all there's just too much - but it is not overwhelming compared with distro Artistx which was my inspiration.
