Amigo Linux has most of the sources including rox. I can post a couple patches for no root warning and improved mimetypes.

the speed of pulp and rox gtk1.2 is amazing.
was an antix-mepis fan but pulp and dpup won me over to puppy.

i'm hope for an new one and a new pulp.

Did anyone cobble together this pup? Is there an iso to try? I've been tinkering with Pulp 03 and find it exciting and refreshing (and it is teaching me lots of under the hood stuff...). I'm aiming for a lightweight system that I can add Textmaker 2002 or FreeOffice 2012 onto (because they seem really quick to load and more capable than Abiword), along with a good pdf reader.
Also need a browser that supports javascript (wish I didn't need it) and https. On-the-fly Youtube is not a necessity, but a downloader would be handy.
I'm gradually getting pulp03 shaped as I want it, but maybe someone already has a nice iso like this? I'm thinking of something to run on say, laptops from around the year 2000 - 2008ish? (ie: not needing newer kernels). I'm realising now how good the 412 pups were, and have written a script to get me past some of the usb detection probs I seemed to be having with them.
