Recommend a Puppy iso under 100Mb to fit on credit card CD?
.
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".

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?Lobster wrote:

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]

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.

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.
