There is another project that may be closer to what you want. The
[1]community of [2]Puppy Linux has spawned a [3]project named "Dpup"
that combines the design goals of Puppy with the package archives of
Debian. A parallel project named "Upup" uses the Ubuntu repositories.
The goal is a small (around 120MB) base distribution with full apt-get
or synaptic access to the thousands of Debian (or Ubuntu) packages. Both
are in active development and have images available for testing.
See the community [1]discussions for announcements.

I just realized the USB stick I casually loaned somebody has more capacity
than all the disk drives at my university (and cost less than one textbook.)
