your site gives us wonderful information. but sorry, it make some problems hidden! your Wary / Racy list concern (very) old builds ... If you use them on a already formated old hard disk (for ex. by some Debian or Ubuntu like distros), you will probably meet some ext4 partitions and I suppose NO ONE...

squashing: how to modify isos?

our initrd files end usually in dotgz (.gz) but diverses ones in the last years are different. Barry Kauler did introduce and use new formats. Is there a Puppy wikki page (better as forum threads where the real info meets with comments and debates making difficult to follow the information) or blog ...

editing html4 in Bionic Dog

as old Puppy user (early Puppy did soon use the Mozilla Suite, the real one with the red monster!) I did introduce HTML as a own standard document format as it was early compact and complete (pictures, sheets, etc.) and as it is fast and easy to extend and modify the code of each file manually (the ...

you probably doesn't need devx stuff at all in SliTaz! SliTaz offers the needing tools. Try to use them in a live session if you refuse to add such ballast in your installation. In a typical Puppy frugal "install" without save file, terrible save files, it is no problem! You don't develop ...

Puppy remastering was way easier than slitaz. It was step by step. Mounted ISO image or mounted CD is required as Slitaz does (I did name the method in my message) or as Puppy does? @hamoudoudou building tazpup was an experiment from ground up. Now the construction was now automated by using tazpup...
