Looking in the image.gz file I found what looked to be the cram_fs
mount commands:

losetup /dev/loop0 /usr_cram.fs
mount -r -t ${COMPRFS} /dev/loop0 /usr

For Puppy to mount cram_fs from an nfs export, would the command line be:

mount -r -t nfs -o timeo=20, intr "server IP":/"cram_fs export" /usr

For the server to mount the cram_fs file would be:

losetup /dev/loop0 /usr_cram.fs
mount -r -t "servers filesys. type" /dev/loop0 /"cram_fs export"

Puppy's kernel doesn't need anything extra to do all of this, does it?
Perhaps an advanced Qs, but I'm a noob & don't know about this.

After looking at it more, the server mount of cram_fs might be:

losetup /dev/loop0 /usr_cram.fs
mount -r -t squashfs /dev/loop0 /"cram_fs export"

call "cram_fs export" just plain: cram

If someone with know how would help with this, I think this
setup for a LanPuppy has merit, & will make a great package.
But with my limited ability, I'll definately need help at times.

PupLan is a good name? Will it be based on 1.0.3? Built in Monkey server? Perl?

Pretty good site, looked at some of the other stuff.

Evil sith lord, emperor Bush says: may the FARCE be with you.

On a reality note, PupLan aint bad at all.
I'm working with 1.0 at the moment, shouldn't be much to upgrade.
I'm using the Freesco router-firewall as a server, but ultimately it
should all be based on Puppy, that'll take more effort.
I don't think any Perl should be needed, most of it is simple enough.
