DebianDog-Wheezy on github.
=========================================
My thanks to Daniel Baumann! DebianDog wouldn't exist without his work.
=========================================
Edit: 04.09.2015 - New iso images uploaded. List of changes read here.
=========================================
DebianDog project started as Light-Wheezy+Porteus-Wheezy.
It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian.
Downloading DebianDog be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Debian manner.
Both systemd and sysvinit included with choice to boot the init you prefer.
If you need to edit the boot code keep in mind adding init=/bin/systemd will boot with systemd. Removing init=/bin/systemd will boot with sysvinit.
DebianDog is very small Debian Wheezy Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy. Debian structure and Debian behaviour are untouched and Debian documentation is 100% valid for DebianDog. You have access to all debian repositories using apt-get or synaptic.
To test DebianDog for first time you need to burn it on CD and boot from it, or use DebianDog-installer (included in the iso and working from most linux systems) to make frugal install to HDD or USB, or to extract /live folder on top of a partition or USB and edit grub menu.lst.
DebianDog is set to autologin as root. If you like to use it as multiuser system it is recommended to start XDM login manager (available only in Jwm version). Just type in terminal xdm-start and reboot. xdm-stop will reverse back autologin as root.
In OpenBox version you can install this slim deb package and use menu System -> Start/Stop Slim display-manager.
If you like to change the default autologin as root to autologin as user read here how to do it.
Login details:
root with password root
puppy with password puppy
Check for updated iso images here first.
Two versions are available for download:
1. DebianDog-Wheezy-jwm_icewm-2015-09-02.iso - 119 Mb (kernel 3.2.0-4-486 for older PC).
DebianDog-Wheezy-jwm_icewm-2015-09-02-PAE.iso -141 Mb (kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae for modern multi-core PC. You can try adding forcepae boot parameter to boot this iso on PC without SMP support).
Mirror download link.
Default WM - JWM with option to switch to IceWM.
Default File Manager - XFE with option to use Rox.
Default Internet Browser - Dillo.
2. DebianDog-Wheezy-openbox_xfce-2015-09-02.iso - 159 Mb (from Fred) - (kernel 3.2.0.4-486 for older PC).
DebianDog-Wheezy-openbox_xfce-2015-09-02-PAE.iso - 180 Mb (from Fred) - (kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae for modern multi-core PC. You can try adding forcepae boot parameter to boot this iso on PC without SMP support).
Mirror download link.
Default WM - OpenBox with XFCE.
Default File Manager - Thunar with option to use Rox or XFE.

md5sum
DebianDog-Wheezy is avalable with kernel 3.2.0-4-486 (for older machines) and kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae (for modern multi-core machines).
In case you like to experiment with other kernel read here how to boot easy with different kernel module.
We have 3 different initrd files included which gives 3 different boot and save file options. I will explain them proper in the next post.
Please, read also Examples-boot-codes for boot options.
After testing the boot methods and save file options and decide which one is best for you, just remove 2 initrd files to save 15 Mb system space.
Both versions have a lot in common as boot and save file options. The difference is in the WM and applications choice.
To keep the size small as possible all /usr/share/locale files for the included packages are moved in separate squashfs module (00-locale-files-openbox_xfce.squashfs and 00-locale-files-jwm-icewm.squashfs ) available for download from here or here.
In case you like to change the localization install locales and load the module or place it inside /live/image/live to be loaded at boot time.
You can also install localepurge and copy only the language files you need from the squashfs module in /usr/share/locale directory to save space in the future.
Included menu-openbox from Fred with localisation support (the default menu displays categories and menu entries only in English). In case you like to change the localisation type menu-openbox in terminal or start it from System -> Menu Openbox.
More information about changing localization read here, here and here.
In post five on this page you will find information how to install packages in Debian with Synaptic (GUI) or apt-get (CLI).
DebianDog has tools similar to Puppy. You can create easy separate squashfs modules and remaster the system with all personal changes.
You can even use/convert pet packages and sfs files from Puppy but it is not recommended if you like to keep well working apt-get/Synaptic package manager (which is the main advantage using DebianDog).
I like to give my Thanks to Smokey and KazzaMozz for hosting DebianDog project here, here, here,
to Debian team for keeping Debian such flexible system,
to this forum for the opportunity to work on a project different from puppy linux,
to our forum members working on DebianDog development: Fred (fredx181), Terry (sunburnt), William (mcewanw), Sergey (sklimkin),
and for the valuable advices to: jbv, sfs, catsezmoo, big_bass, emil, dancytron, anikin from our forum
and dzz from http://www.debianuserforums.org
And to Sickgut for his original idea that made possible DebianDog to exist.
