This was more of a side project, as my main focus is on improving Solidpup.
What I did was I took Wary 5.1.1-small and cut out all of the big apps such as:
- mplayer, flashplayer, seamonkey, abiword, gnumeric.
- a lot of smaller apps were removed as well.

Basically I use this puplet for one main purpose; to run virtualbox on a test system that has limited RAM.
But since I decided to share it, I prettied it up and added some small but useful apps.

Compatable software can be found in the Wary-based Solidpup thread:

This puplet is offered AS IS.

Enjoy!

Nice size and a decent base with some interesting takes ('standard' and most other offerings haven't appealed to me much lately - either too big, too restricted or ).

A moment of consternation after the initial run and save (using liveCD multisession) - by default Tiny starts 'clean' (it took me a few tries to realize that I'd have to select the 'saved session' or 2nd boot option for continuing on in a progressive manner). Very useful to have a fairly clean base with not much in the way (and that easily dealt with, not 'fighting' it to get it to do what you want).

Actually put together a dual-version (old&new) xfe package with addons and new tweaks, but need to trim the fat (4 mb - Mr Murga sure isn't going to let me attach that here!) but here's a sample screenie for levity



Good job and thanks again, Tman.

Hi f00:
Good to hear that you found a use for this side project of mine. I see your point about the Live-CD booting clean by default. I did it becuase, I was afraid that Loading saved sessions would mess up people's warysave files..(from other wary-based pups). Perhaps it would be a better idea to change the boot order to what puppyians are normally accustomed to. I now realize that it is much better this way, if you are running from a multi-session CD...no need to choose the "Load Saved Session" option all the time.
It only occured to me after I read your post, as I only use Live-CD's for remastering purposes. I always do frugal installs by extracting the ISO to a new folder with ISOMaster, and then adding an entry in the Grub4Dos menu.lst file. Should I remaster it? Ah..why not...it's done! . I added info for SFS-Exec while I was at it -- a very quick remaster.
Take Care!

Just a quick note of encouragement. I have been using wary tiny with wine and portable apps. The only issue I have encountered is with Iron or chromium. I have been unable to get either to run in this OS.

I also use solidpup quite often as both of these work quite well on my laptop - thinkpad T40

can u make a lucid tiny if possible?

[petihar]

Hello,
Oh yes a lucid525 tiny would be fine .... please Tman
petihar

[pdrito]

Yes, Yes, Yes,

¡¡¡ That Tiny Lucid please. !!!

Is possible to have a version with xorg 7.5 natively on it ??

Thanks a lot for your work Tman.

Hello all:

Sorry.. a Lucid Tiny probably is a no go..I recommend Lucid Lite for that.
If I remove the same apps from Lucid as I did from Wary small..I estimate that it will be around 100 megs. Wary small is only 105megs and Lucid is 128.

BHINTZ: I wish I could help you with the Iron-Chromium issue, but I have not really used them that much, let alone dissect their individual files. I assume that one of the apps which I have removed in Tiny has dependencies required for those browsers. I think I have a list saved somewhere. I will look for it on the weekend. I am quite busy at the moment and just wanted to get on murga-linux to quickly check and reply to my messages. An off-the-wall-guess would be to try installing sqlite and or flashplayer.

EDIT: When I said "list", I meant a list of what files I've removed from Wary-small to make Wary Tiny.

[Darkgame]

Owww... Alright, i will try lucid lite

[Tman]

For those who are interested, here is a list of what I removed from Wary-small to create Wary Tiny. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of what I've added.

[Darkgame]

what about tiny 4.3.1? I know its outdated but i can make use of it

[Tman]

Darkgame,
At the moment I am busy working on a Lucid-based version of Solidpup, named Slickpup. I am still working out a few quirks which I have discovered while testing it. After that I might totally redo Solidpup and base it on Shinobar's International Wary, if he's okay with it.

I might consider trying to make a tiny puppy 4.3.1 for learning purposes, but it may take some time. My first puppy was Lucid 5.1, which I used briefly, before I switched to Quirky NOP. Now I mainly use my own creations and I haven't tried very many of the older pups and am not as familiar with how packages are put together. So the answer to your question is ...maybe.

I haven't tried this myself, but you might wanna try: Browserlinux

Based on Puppy 4.3.1, it's only 77mb and has Firefox included.

[Darkgame]

alright. Thanks

[Tman]

Wine 1.3.22 SFS can be found here: http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/apps/

I haven't tested it thouroughly, but it seems to be compatable with both Wary and Lucid Pup. Thanks, coolpup.
