I tried to boot Puppy 1.0.8r1 on a laptop with 96MB. I was surprised that 96 was not enough to load Pup all into RAM -- it just tried to fallback to running from CD. I can understand that RAM would have been rather tight, without enough left to do much real work, but I would have rather been given a choice, if it is at all possible to load all into RAM in that circumstance.
Also, this PMMX-266 (first I have ever seen) laptop was unable to start XWIN. Xvesa gave up quickly. Xorg took quite a bit longer to fail to launch XWIN.
