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".

Aitch ! Suggesting a non-Puppy based rescue CD !??#$%@!!
Wash your mouth out with soap and water!

:-)

Oh well, I guess Plop is non-Puppy too.

Maybe I will just stick with Puppy "Mount 'n Rescue"

Lobster - I looked at this a while ago but now that I go back for another look I think the link is dead. How did you fit Lucid 5.1 on a credit card CD?

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] :wink: :(

Meanpup

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:

Hey Barkin... how do you get multiple images into the post like you did in this post?

Thanks Aitch. Does that mean the embedded pics have to be online somewhere, rather than uploaded to the forum? cheers

Basically, yes, ...any free upload site, like imgur, or streaky.com though not megaupload anymore
....or you can add them from your own PC, though they show up as an endpiece attachment, not in the body of the page as Barkin did

If anyone is still looking for a distro that is less than 100MB (in order to fit on miniCD or usb stick etc) I highly recommend o1micko's "ThinSlacko". It is really awesome on a wide range of hardware (as long as you don't need PAE). Quick, clean and tidy.
