I started trying to build a Puppy based system, I think to update the existing "coolcnc" CD. I did a bunch of kernel patching and compiling, but all that's pretty far out of date now. I should probably delete that wiki page. I think if I were going to start again, I would try making a script that took the existing Ubuntu install and removed everything not needed/wanted, rather than try to build from the ground up. There's an interesting utility that has popped up recently to help with this job at: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Thanks, Matt P.S. No need to feel guilty! Or if you do, assuage that guilt with a few bug reports or photos of your setup! Hi Matt All the computers I ever seem to sit at know when it's me, and they take full advantage of the fact. So my idea is to sneak up and install a small programme very quickly before they have realized it's me. There is a distro called Puppy Linux is this the same you are talking about?
