Please Note --
Some URLs below were changed because forum member augras (whom I thank
most sincerely) changed the French PuppyLinux repo from one server to another at
the end of October.
I tried to be as precise as possible, but should you have a problem finding a file
listed in the following posts, please let me know, I'll correct the URL ASAP.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hello all.
This thread to present what I feel is a missing link in Puppy evolution:
xenialPup-7.0.6 32-bits with kernel 4.1
While 666philb has done a more than excellent job putting the XenialPup
together and similarly, ETP proposing variants of it, those Puppies all
come with the 4.9 kernel. Now on my machine (see hw listing attached),
kernel 4.9 makes anything run as slow as molasses in winter.
So this evening I whipped up a new xenialPup with the help of wiak's
excellent automated script.
I didn't bother editing anything in the woof template, I simply produced a
small pupsave file with what I think are essential additional configs.
Unload, unpack and use this pupsave only if you wish to.
Contrary to what I usually do, I left this iso as close to the original as
possible. Only an additional background (the default ones are so ugly!)
and some simple configurations, in particular a proper drop-down
menu of directories in ROX and a digital clock in the traybar that you can
see without glasses. Also a logical repositioning (IMO) of the desktop
icons to leave room to potential ROX bars.
To the core of the matter: xenialPup-7.0.6 with kernel 4.1 now works
speedily on my old box. Hopefully, it will run at a reasonable speed on
your old box as well.

Enjoy!

PS. FYI, ubuntu's xenial xerus comes with kernel 4.4.
