What it does is ‘break the links’ to an application so that it is no longer available. I considered josejp2424’s DpupBuster CE, viewtopic.php?p=2208#p2208, but am more familiar with how radky organizes things so took the path less challenging.Īs you know, Menu>Setup>Remove builtin packages does not actually remove anything. As a relatively new Puppy it can run current web-browsers OOTB and debian buster, with which it is binary compatible, will be maintained into 2025. I chose radky’s BusterPup, viewtopic.php?p=302#p302 to work with for several reasons. My objective was not to produce a Bare-bones Puppy, but rather the strip out those application no longer necessary in the light of Koffice-Suite and always unnecessary for me as I have neither a CD/DVD player/burner nor a printer. I probably would not have undertaken the project if (a) I hadn’t stumbled upon an Asus 701sd, 418 Mbs of RAM buried in the back of a closet and unused for a decade and (b) I also stumbled upon a Suite of Office and Graphic applications in an 48 Mb package, viewtopic.php?p=3412#p3412Īll the actual work of stripping and remastering was done of my Lenovo 4180AP3 Laptop with 3845 MB of RAM. The best that might be hoped for are (a) a means to send and receive emails with attachments (b) access one, perhaps two webpages at a time, and (c) of course engage in the common activities most of us use computers for: There are light-weight applications for non-web-oriented activities, and methods of reducing, even eliminating, their demands for RAM beyond that which is actually necessary. If you have limited RAM adding a Swapfile/partition may prevent a crash, but not provide a sustainable viewing experience. I also know that however little RAM is being used when you first boot into a Puppy, as soon you open any web-browser over a hundred Mbs of RAM will be used, and accessing each graphic-rich web-site will require that much or more additional RAM. From prior experience I know that carefully removing builtin applications and remastering would take several hours. Of the two computers I regularly use the one with the least amount of RAM has 4 Gbs. You still had to carefully ration the use of every byte. At that time most websites were text with an occasional graphic but you were lucky if your computer had more than 256 Mbs RAM. Neither computers nor the computing environment which existed when Puppies first appeared exist today.

Although this resulted in an ISO you can download and use, the purpose of this project was to examine the ramification of stripping a Puppy of applications, primarily to answer the question of whether the gain in available Random Access Memory on boot-up is worth the effort required to remove the applications you consider unnecessary.
