Bruce B, that's very interesting that OO worked for you -- what binary tarball was it? where from?

I just had a totally off-the-wall thought ...200M ...hmm, so that would be about 100M compressed. Why not install it to /opt, then make all of /opt into a squashfs file opt_cram.fs. Then, place it on the hard drive (or CD) where Puppy will find it at bootup. For the last few versions, the bootup script rc.sysinit looks for a file named opt_cram.fs, in same places as usr_cram.fs, if found, mounts it on /opt.

Then, even more off-the-wall, if the PC has lots of RAM, say 512M, and a Linux swap partition, why can't rc.sysinit copy opt_cram.fs into "/" then mount it on /opt, so we may get some decent speed out of OO.
So is this an announcement of things to come in 1.4???
Looks like klhrevolutionist deleted the quote tags.
No, I don't plan that for Pup 1.0.4, it's an invitation to someone to try it.
