Normally Puppy Linux is just about 100 MB and loads completly to RAM (if more then 256 MB RAM are found). The advantage is that Applications open very very fast and one can remove the CD while working. The Sage Live CD is 700 MB and I changed the configuration, that the complete sywstem is only loaded when more than 1.5 GB are found. Maybe it is better to force Option pfix=noram? This can be done by default. The loss of speed is not really an issue, but of course the CD drive will be occupied. > 2- SAGE worked without any problems. (Also, seeing LyX installed was a nice > surprise!) I tested Sage and it passed all tests (sage -testall) at my machine. I was lucky to find a nice Linux package containing Lyx at just 169 MB (this was made by member of puppy linux forum didik from indonesia). Since there is some space left I could also include texmacs (I tested it in the meantime, it works, but seems not as responsive than the rest of the system) > 3- I was not able to switch on touchpad clicking. This is some puppy linux related stuff. A good source to tackle such problems is the puppy linux forum which is in general helpfull and competent. I found this thread about touchpads. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=18339 You can edit the xorg.conf file by Menu>Setup>Xorg Video Wizard>Edit xorg.conf > 4- I was not able to connect to WEP secured wireless through none of the > connection wizards (there were two different).
