you could try:
pUPnGO - 6Mb ISO - Basic Building Block Puplet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=592688#592688

techno's microsaurus? [He might want to think about the name, as it's already in use by a webdesigner!]

or an bare bones pup. Smile

One important thing you want to check is the ability to turn off screen blanking if it is an option in BIOS. Otherwise, your slideshow of a directory of pictures that loops back to the start may end with the screen going black.
I think there is a utility called "No Blank Screen that displays a YES and NO button with YES disabling screen blanking and NO turning it back on.

But you do not want any surprises so be sure to check that BIOS under the power options.

you don't even _need_ a screensaver - this should work
Code:
#!/bin/sh
IMAGEDIR=/usr/share/backgrounds
for IMAGE in $IMAGEDIR/*.jpg ; do

echo '<?xml version="1.0"?><JWM>
<Desktops count="2" width="2" height="1">
<Desktop name="1,1">
<Background type="image">'"${IMAGE}"'</Background>
</Desktop>
</Desktops>
</JWM>' > $HOME/.jwmrc
jwm -restart
sleep 5
done
$0 &#will keep running this file over and over
