256M will do. That's what I use myself. I added some info about
file size on the site [1].
> Does anyone know what the minimum size is.
Without the user data: 74,079,209 bytes.
With the user data: 208,296,937 bytes.
That's 62,791,391 bytes for Puppy Linux 1.0.4 itself,
11,287,818 bytes for the QEMU-Puppy specific stuff and
134,217,728 bytes for the user data...
You should end up having the files as listed below.
> The pup001 file got to 193M or so before I ran out of space.
I know the problem. I think. I hope. I'll try: You extracted
pup100.gz (130K) to pup100 (128M), put it on the stick and
copied your old pup001 (???M) to your stick as well. That won't
fit. For some reason, I don't know why, the pupxxx file is
called pup100 on USB devices, instead of pup001. It might be
enough to rename your pup001 to pup100, but I never did it
myself. Just experiment.
You could experiment with the block sizes of your VFAT. But
that's usually just important when trying to put a lot of small
files on a file system, which isn't the case.
There must be some reason to call it pup100 on USB devices...
