We’re thrilled to share the latest updates with you! Our Mini ISO releases bring a host of improvements designed to make your user experience smoother.
First off, firmware. We’ve listened to your feedback and addressed a significant gap by integrating essential firmware directly into the ISOs.
But that’s not all. We’ve also introduced a new banner in the installer, ensuring a consistent theme throughout the installation process. It’s a small touch that adds to the overall polish of your system setup.
In addition to these visual enhancements, we’ve been hard at work refining the ISO building process and tweaking tasksel to give you more control. Now, nothing is marked for installation by default
We’ve taken inspiration from Debian’s approach to ISO building while still incorporating our unique installer theme and custom scripts. The result? A seamless experience that combines the best of both worlds.
The ISOs aren’t just for online installations. You can now use them offline to set up a basic system without a graphical interface, providing even more flexibility.
Thank you again for all the community support!

just letting you know ive tried installing them on my dual pentium 3 box and get a yt-dlp error during install.
Hey everyone,
I want to chime in on what “dave” said, with a tad more details, and the ISOs I’ve used for testing in a VM:
– PepMini-dev-amd64.iso (Latest release from SF)
– devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_netinstall.iso
First, I checked the install for the Xfce option, and that went fine on both installations, and everything was working fine (except a little issue(?) where apt was complaining about an unreadable repo file, if you were for example running “apt search ” as a user in PepOS).
Afterwards, I checked the LXQt option and there I ran into an issue.
On Devuan, the install with the LXQt option would complete nicely – not so much on PepOS. When I select the LXQt option (plus the Peppermint related option at the top), the installer would go all the way, and stop at installing “yt-dlp”. At this point, the installer would remain there for some minutes and crash afterwards.
Couldn’t you guys at least add some pictures of Peppermint Mini. Want to see how it looks before downloading.
I’ve been playing with the peppermint mini release (devuan version) trying several different install possibilities. I had no problems that I’d care about on any of them. I’ve settled on LXQT installed w/o checking the peppermint box at the top. I now have a nice lean and mean debian (devuan with runit) based gui system with just enough tools to get started adding just what I want and nothing more (I’m happy using cli when needed). Love the install process and especially how much is NOT installed (I’m used to VOID and Alpine, but now have need for a debian packaging foundation). USB audio and midi came right up, as did surge-synthesizer, so I’m a happy camper. The out-of-the-box theming is just enough to for me to prefer peppermintos over raw devuan. Thanks peppermint team. This mini install is a winner for me.
Thank you so very much for the kind words !
