I tend to differ with you as the kernel used in the version I have is 2.6.30.5.
The version you show was made about the same time and was for "older?" PCs.
Also, it was made with the intention of trying to make Puppy able to boot from a SCSI device.
One of the testers at that time reported he was unable to boot it from a SCSI drive and that version was dropped.

This is as I remember it. Barry would know more and after the theft a while back of some of his data, I am unsure if he still has it.

I didn't notice the old kernel in the name. I'll be darned. I have been using the 2.6.30.5 version since the beginning and assumed it was still available. I used it because it had all of the modem drivers. That's disappointing. I will need to update my 4.3.1.1 thread to account for that. I have it on several CDs that I call "puppy Linux 4.3.1 Complete", but am unsure whether I still have the iso file somewhere.

EDIT: I just now checked "special puppies" and see that it still contains the "complete" iso:
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-4.3.1/special-puppies/pup-431-scsi-intel_modems.iso

Is that the one you have?

rerwin,
Short and sweet, yes. Although I have so many versions of 431, It is hard to keep straight which is which.
I will do some more checking.
Also, Mine in highly modified with every fix I could find and also updated browser.

Wow, had I known about this thread before, I wouldn't have started the other one.
