For those who don't know, HackyRemaster was my workaround to remaster Puppy that I made back in May. Both my computer and I didn't like the other ways to remaster (either too confusing or needed more resources than I had), so I made my own. The basic idea is that it creates a filesystem image, then within that it creates the new puppy. That way it is all in one easy to delete file, can't corrupt everything else as easy, and can exist within a linux partition even on a fat partition.
It then sets up the entire filesystem in there and lets you go in and edit at your leisure. It won't dissappear when you reboot or anything. You can then run a script to close it all back up into usr_cram.fs and image.gz. Then you can go in and edit the cd files. Finally, it will seal it all up in an ISO.

Just so this is clear: It takes the data on your cd, so it doesn't care what you have installed. It won't take it unless it was on the cd. If you remastered a cd, it would have everything on that cd. You can then add/remove whatever you want by hand. So you don't have to have timidity installed to add it to the remaster, but you have to add it by hand. You would also have to uninstall Mozilla by hand.

The old version was barely tested and was only confirmed to work when I used it. It also had a couple tweaks involving memory that I had no idea what they did other than that it didn't work without them.

I'm going to make a newer one that will hopefully be more efficient. But there is a big difference between a program I write for myself and one that I release for the public. So what I'm wondering is if anyone else would want to use this. If so, I'll make it more friendly. Otherwise I'm going to save myself the trouble and have a rough around the edges program that will delete your harddrive if used incorrectly, and just keep it to myself.
