I concur that puppy 4.3.1 can be useful to many and should be maintained to stay relevant. I don't see any mention here of my effort to keep 4.3.1 vital. My thread does not appear to be updated, because I maintain it by editing a set of postings by subject. Please check it out and consider using it as a central place to start customized upgrades.l2ulinux, et. al. wrote:I to would love to see a NEW release of Puppy 431. I love to use the 431 version myself over the newer releases. I posted once before was Puppy 431 dead.
Please if you are someone else does do it. Please let me know.

My initial goal was a single package to update 4.3.1 with all of my modem and modprobe improvements to keep puppy robust. It has grown from there. I continue to keep that package updated as I make further refinements (currently to support Lucid, but to be back-ported to the 4.3.1 upgrade package soon).
My intent is to add more "essential" updated package groups and a list of links to applications that will "just work". I am open to adding a section (posting) for the more daring upgrades like seamonkey and dependencies, but would rely on the more knowledgeable of you to advise on its content.
Let's continue discussion about it here, so as to leave that thread as an unintimidating resource. I look forward to working with all of you.
BTW, I do not care to create an entire new version of 4.3.1, and all that that entails, so am trying to make it easy to construct an improved 4.3.1. But I can support anyone caring to take on that project.
