Editing Puppy Linux (section)

== Building the distribution ==
On earlier releases of Puppy Linux, Puppy Unleashed was used to create Puppy [[ISO image]]s. It consists of more than 500 packages that are put together according to the user's needs. However, on later versions starting with Puppy Linux version 5.0, it was replaced by Woof. It is an advanced tool for creating Puppy installations. It requires an Internet connection and some knowledge of Linux to use. It is able to download the binary source packages from another [[Linux distribution]] and process them into Puppy Linux packages by just defining the name of that Linux distro.<ref>{{cite web |author=Barry Kauler |title=Woof: the "Puppy builder" |url=http://bkhome.org/woof/ |date=March 2010 |access-date=2010-08-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714091925/http://bkhome.org/woof/ |archive-date=2011-07-14 }}</ref> It is equipped with a simpler version control named Bones on earlier releases but on later versions of woof, Fossil version control is used.<ref>{{cite web |author=Barry Kauler |title=Bones: version control |url=http://bkhome.org/bones/index.html |date=March 2010 |access-date=2010-08-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717142817/http://bkhome.org/bones/index.html |archive-date=2011-07-17 }}</ref>

Puppy also comes with a remastering tool that takes a "snapshot" of the current system and lets the user create a live CD from it, and an additional remastering tool that is able to remove installed components.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}
