BareBones 5.01

Minimal version of Puppy5Index Puppy Lucid 5.01. Applications removed and libraries specific to those applications.

To install a stock application, re-installing them from the repos should work fine.

This ISO was tested in QEMU and as a frugal install. I found no problems other than Viewnior need to be installed from the puppy 4 repos for Nathan wallpaper to work.

It is 91.8 MB, 36.3 MB smaller than standard Lucid 5.01.
