Nice.
Have placed it in the Puppy shop. Puppy in hardware, good plan - we need a logo you can use as a decal . . .

If it can boot from the DVD, then leave out the hard drive and floppy drive, and with a GB of RAM and it would be great for schools to use with multisession DVD Puppy.

No normal user would notice the difference between 512 and a GB, and that could take $40 off the price. You might even be able to get away with 256, though someone might notice if they're doing +5 megapixel work in GIMP. But a gig feels overkill. Even my high end computer for 3D rendering doesn't have that much. (Though it will once I get some extra money)

768MB is the most a "standard" kernel will recognise use.....to use anymore the BIG_MEM option has to be turned on in the config and the kernel recompiled, from what I've heard a slight reduction in performance can occur as well

In this configuration, multisession DVD Puppy has no hard drive swap memory available so I thought it better to have too much RAM than not enough. After all, RAM is very small and reliable, and seems to use very little power. So the question is, how much is enough? If 256 MB would handle anything 99.9% of people would ever use a multisession Puppy DVD for, with room left for future feature creep, then that's the way to go.
