Must say the Embedded theme is quite slick. Well worth a download.

Slacko5.7-2015

#25 Post by 8Geee »

So how small is my puppy? Well, not small historically, but is a 320Mb partition small compared to major distros? Well, yes it is. So, I'll show my new puppy and its new screeny. I was VERY tempted to put a M$ and G# in that black-spot, but no... I resisted. :twisted:

Yup, that is a 320Mb partition housing the Eee-version of slacko5.7-nonpae. There is a 127Mb Save with 100 remaining. Unfortunatly, the first regions started showing signs of not retaining data. Not to worry, plenty left :wink:

Indeed, Ladies and Gentlemen, :)

In support to 8Geee above, you can see below a Puppy-5.4.3 fitting
comfortably in a 32G partition on a system with overall 240G. :D

Image

It doesn't even look like a Puppy! (hehe) ;) And it runs OpenOffice 4.1.1
(or the latest LibreOffice if you prefer).

Also, there's at least one Puppy on each of those partitions. Thus, you can
populate your rig in such a way that your puppy is never alone! :)

Have fun ! BFN.

I suppose a 94.5MB pup with a 21.5Mb save is too small to be considered...4 pups and 3 slax varients on one 8GB partition with room for software storage and space and my packed lunch :)

Does windows explorer crash as frequently on that system as it used to do on Windows 95/98? I remember replacing explorer exe with that of Windows ME which made things a bit more stable in that regard.

No rock solid...NO integrated Internet Explorer so no instability...plus you have a NT core .... Nice simple , fast and internet tricks free file browser bunny....unfortunately cannot be used on later windows.

If you want explorer stability on 98 use 98 lite to revert to the 95 file browser though IE removal itself does help a lot...ie no more seizing up with bookmarks/history files. . and of course vastly improved security.

Ntlite is for these....
Supports client Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10TP(9926), 32 and 64-bit natively.
just to avoid confusion.

At 80MB full install I don't thinks there's much that can be removed :)

for xp/2000 theres xplite, vorck fileset and nlite.
