So I wanted to run Teenpup2010mini on a 500MHz PIII with 192MBs of RAM and about 4GBs of storage on a second partition. I wanted to use Amarok to manage and play FLACs over wifi from my music server. Internet streams would be nice, too.
Lucid Puppy was my first choice, but I couldn't get Amarok to work with a "frugal" install. Teenpup comes with Amarok pre-installed so I went with that.
I used the LuPu to mount and extract the Teenpup .sfs to its home on the second partition -- after converting it to the proper squash file format with the included utility.
I put the vmlinuz file in the first partition, since my grub can't access stuff on other partitions. One Grub menu entry boots into a root on the second partition. [I'll have to copy the grub entry here...]
Thanks to the excellent Puppy developers and folks at murga-linux! It works flawlessly, so far. Now I have a dependable, lossless, wireless music manager & client for my stereo.
