Awesome. Thanks guys. Those look like interesting options.

I guess you've moved on from the 100MB size, but I found a nifty little Puppy based on the 4.0 series which has Firefox and weighs in at 72MB. Whoever made it put a bit of work into it and it's a shame if it were to disappear forever. I think 4.0 was a good version overall and the iso was small to begin with so it would be a good base to work with.

If you take out Firefox and remaster it then it might come within your size requirement.

Verbatim make mini CDRs and CDRWs in 8cm/3" size which are 185mb/21minute audio, or 150mb/118 minute audio versions

Plenty of space for modern 'larger' puppies, still

However ....Class 10, 300x or, if your lucky, 600x microSD flash is far faster, convenient, and wear resistant, and available in multi-Gb formats quite/relatively cheaply, and can be put in a USB adapter, with PLOP and Puppy on, for booting from any PC

There is another post about Plop here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67379

It looks like a useful way to boot or rescue a PC that has no ability to boot direct from USB. I plan to test Plop on a variety of machines over the next few weeks.

I feel like I might need to divide this topic as follows:

1) 50Mb isos for burning to business card / credit card CDs
2) Under 150Mb isos for burning to 8cm circular CDs
3) Other solutions like Plop etc

Thanks to everyones input I have now got 4 or 5 really useful 50mb isos that I am testing and will probably link to a new topic when I have written up a full comparison of their performance on different machines.

I really want to tailor the best one so that it has no "save" option on shutdown (plus a couple of other tweaks) and I am hoping to call it something like Puppy "Mount n' Rescue".

If you watch my posts, I regularly suggest whatever works, which is mainly puppy original, variants/puplets or puppian code, but often just open source/linux or related - like boot managers, which many people need for older hardware

Only thing I know needs washing regularly is windoze, and even then you don't see much [apart from BSOD maybe]

There is a Meanpup (puppy-2.02-opera.iso) by John Murga at http://www.my-plan.org/storage/puppyLinux/
Fits on a 50mb cd. I have not tried it, though.

Thanks Steevieb. That Meanpup works quite well. I have now got a list of about 4 or 5 possible candidates that I am comparing for the 50Mb business card CD.

I have just started a new topic specifically for a comparison of the puppies that meet the 50Mb limit (as I have confused this current topic a bit by introducing the 100Mb idea).

I will keep this previous topic updated with my trials of puppies used with Plop and miniCDs etc.

The new topic post is here:
