So what about this new PUPPY version?

#1 Post by flamesage »

I have heard a few things about it, but is it going to be a MAJOR LEAP from what I hear? What are the new features? Is it smaller?

What I really would like to see in the new version is ALL of the pre-installed stuff to be in the dotpup manager, already registered, that way i could remove say Mozilla if I wanted to, easily and painlessly.

What I have got my script doing is if you have installed any pupgets or dotpups, they will get placed into the live-cd, like they are part of the cd, no longer pupgets or dotpups, if you get my drift.
The script also allows for removal of packages that are part of the live-cd, so you can go "backwards" toward a more barebones live-cd.
So will this be a feature in both KRAZY PUPPY and regular PUPPY?
Also, Isn't KDE a desktop manager? How come the puppylinux shows old JWM running on it then?

Krazy Puppy is the name for the KDE pupget
KDE is a Window Manager.
