It uses genuine Woof-CE puppy scripts and genuine Woof-CE initrd

6. You still need Woof-CE as all the puppy core lives there.
7. Uses native Debian package manager. Does not use PET.
Any interest? Comments?
Puppy does use a number of pets though not in woof and characteristic to puppy (jwmconfig for example).
However this could be fixed bu adding them flat into the recently added woof-CE/woof-code/rootfs-packages directory
Does you 300-liner considers rootfs-packages and if it does does it also runs any pinstall included there?
This can be a really interesting development as rootfs-skeleton and rootfs-packages can hold what really makes puppy a Puppy and then a package manager (apt-get, yum, pacman, slaptget, packdude) can offer full distro compatibility
