needed once a barebones base has been created
and make some scripts aesthetically pleasing to the eyes'

Part 1: Making the Puppy
Step 1
Create a bootstrap development environment
Perfect the build system
Compile Packages
Goals
* Compile from scratch for maximum speed and performance
* Create a new build system that supports multiple platforms, with a user friendly package manager, and a well stocked repository
Potential Features:
* Flash -lite
* Replace Rox with PcmanFM
* CompCache compressed RAM
Part 2: Testing the Puppy and cutting out the fat
* Should work out of the box, with quick links to get started
* Should try to be under 100 MB, possibly with a "fatted" version that is slightly larger
* A list of programs and sizes should be made to show where the fat can be cut
* Should be amazingly fast with very few background processes
* Should boot to a desktop as fast as possible, possibly backgrounding some loading scripts
5.1 to 6
