reviving a dead puppy series

[Sailor Enceladus]

Really what could be needed is an older retro kernel 3 or early 4 series with an older Xorg, patched with ext 4 and latest sfs compiled on the latest stable slacko, That would kill so much of slacko's bloat, then we could look at slacko's backend and remove some large lib bloat, Then compile the latest FF ESR. Then you would have a puppy iso around 130-150MB that works on most pc's,

I would try this before making such claims, keeping latest FF you might not be able to save as much as you think.

Last time I compiled Firefox or Seamonkey it was years ago but it was around 50% savings, Its no longer possible with 2.14X to compile it, its just too dated, I tried, compiled tons of libs, came close. Haven't tried it with an newer puppy yet. But It still would be a lot smaller, maybe not 50% anymore like it used to be, But puppy doesn't come with Gstreamer, or Gnome libs so you wouldn't be compiling against that, So other things would be left out like live pod cast due to Gstreamer being missing etc, The main saving in distro size is the kernel, then the browser. A 130-150MB puppy would be possible with a older KernelXorg and compiled browser.Rest of the libraries haven't grown much, Look at 4 series 4.2.1 Was 100MB iso with Seamonkey, I'm talking using the same Kernel/Xorg with a newer backend and browser with way better sfs compression ratio and 50MB compressed extra space to do it, That would be easy.

Haven't read it, BTW. It's a statement!
