Yes, power on the USB is cut but aufs has no problem with this.
With unionfs I get I/O errors on wakeup. Looks like the power interruption messes up the layering of unionfs.
So, aufs is a good choice. Only that Barry is using unionfs with its 3.x.x kernels...

Really? I hadn't noticed, I guess it's improved a lot since I tested it last.

Yep there it is. Now if only the cpufreq_stats module were there.

About Barrys reasons to use unionfs. Shinobar reported that 3.1.0 kernel with aufs didnt have that booting from usb and installing the pet problem. So...not so sure if aufs has bugs with Puppy.

Remove (redundant, unnecessary, not user-friendly, or better in repo):
Replace:
urxvt - lxterminal <-- does lxterminal fully replace urxvt? When I tried other terminals that weren't rxvt based, we lost certain functions, If I remember correctly the puppy package manager stopped working.
epdfview - evince <--- this is a great tradeoff, and bring better functions, like opens comic books, but it does add some weight like gconf, and if were adding gconf, then why use galculator? Gcalctooll is way better and also makes use of gconf , its really linux's best somewhat small calculator.
cgtkcalc - galculator

gcalctool segfaults when you try to put it in financial mode.

It looks pretty similar to galculator to me. Is there some reason why it's better?

I couldn't find one, when I was trying dozens of apps out for qtpuppy, stuck galculator in as the 'standard'.
EDIT:
galculator's main features include
Algebraic mode, RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), Formula Entry mode and Paper mode
decimal, hexadecimal, octal and binary number base
radiant, degree and grad support
arithmetic precedence
Basic and Scientific Mode
user defined constants
user defined functions
Other features are
trigonometric functions
power, square root
natural and common logarithm
inverse and hyperbolic functions
memory functions
logical operations
display RPN stack
preferences dialog/configuration file
display modules
X pasting
i18n
configurable variable type in HEX/BIN/OCT mode
thousands separator
Not sure if we need anything else, but the group is open to additional sugestions.

Last time I compiled evince it was 50% smaller than yours you compiled above back in march and also I included comic,pdf,impress
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=505950#505950
I don't see a need to compile Orbit statically this just add extra weight. On 2.14x I have orbit just built as shared, and it works fine, It could be the reason why gcalctool segfaults for you in financial mode and works fine in 2.14X. Orbit is only about 400kb expanded in 2.14X, Oh also you don't need the latest Gconf or Orbit to compile the latest apps, they don't usually check for version numbers, When I compiled the latest evince back in march this year my Gconf/Orbit was over 2 yrs old, Like everything else if you can get away with a stable older version usually its a go to save file size, 2.14x has libgconf-2.so.4.1.5 <--191kb expanded and libORBit-2.so.0.1.0 <--306kb expanded

if i can venture my toe onto this hallowed turf.
if you have racy as a base, then adding/click installing lupify slacko pet from playdayz will take you in leap and bounds towards where you want to be

Synaptics |
|
Another thing that might need a second look besides unionfs, in the Racy base is the synaptics Xorg module.
I do not know if it is a T2 or a particular configuration/compile issue but if you try to force a fall-back to PS2 mode in a _supported_ device, it crashes. The fall-back can be useful if synaptics does not work well with a particular hardware and puppies like Lupu and Slacko can handle it fine. Racy does not

Yes, djvu is huge. I think we can split the plugins into separate pets but I don't see a need at this point. (I did find a couple of libs I forgot to strip - saved a few kb, I've uploaded the new version.)

It's smaller to compiler statically if you just have one prog that needs a particular dependency, because unneeded bits of the dep are not included and you don't need to export the symbols. The only reason to compile dynamically is to avoid redundancy if you have many programs that depend on a particular library.. Static compilation also speeds up program load times, saves the user from having to hunt down compatible libs, and you can upx the resulting big executables which tends to be better compression than what you get from gzip or SFS.

I hesitate to mix and match really old programs with really new ones since the developers never test this combo. I do remember having problems compiling with my old version of dbus in fluppy - I think it was bluetooth that complained about it. I'm just not that worried about a few KB.
