For those interested, or currently running it and who need the original ISO again, the 4.3.2 v3 "Official 4.3.2" of this thread is available here:

http://www.lamiaworks.com.au/puppy_isos.html

about half way down that page as:

puppy432_v3.iso

checksum is 71aea85e9fd805b7e6d02ea3baa3d0df

I have the impression also Barry noticed things did not progress... that is probably why he decided to launch his new puppy

End of the game for Puppy 4.3.2, the distro that was never born

Thanks for this, just downloaded 4.32v3 from vtpup's site above. I just booted it on a cpq cq60-615dx notebook (64bit) I had to use a special 431 pup on this. Some 5's also boot on this. I liked 431 and this looks great so far.
Cheers

I think the 4+ series of Puppy was stopped before its time. That has been the problem with Puppy from the start. About the time you get it setup the way you want it they just stop. I know they take their time to do it, but don't just stop and do something in another world of Puppy.

I do like Puppy 4.3.2! And I certainly am last person on earth who can blame ttuuxxx, and on the contrary I have to thank him and the other guys working for the improvement of this magic tiny distro.

What I am criticizing is the lack of organisation and cooperation within the community, because we currently have at least two different (four, if I enclose Iguleder’s attempt, and above mentioned sc0ttman's Puplite) development projects of Puppy 4.3.X, either halfway (ttuuxxx’s 4.3.2 test V3) or abandoned (technosaurus’s Puppy 4.4). Instead of over-loading people with tasks and dissipating thus valuable work, I wonder why there is not a “mini-group” of three-four experts working on one and only official 4.X.

We do not dare to forget Puppy 4.3.1 was launched in 2009, and in the meanwhile Puppy 5 (LuPu, Wary, Quirky, etc) has been around for a while.

Gurglin says : What I am criticizing is the lack of organisation and cooperation within the community,

Nooby says: But that is life, that is how the Devs of Puppy want it to be or they would organize themselves better. They want this freedom to do what it fun and not what is demanded from outside.

They have organized it this way by trial and error. This is the only way it works for them.

Just wanted to let you know.

I was trying to get a wireless connection on an old Acer Aspire 3681 WXMi from about 2004, 504MB RAM and 1.46GHz Single-CPU.
It has WinXP and a frugal install of Puppy on an ext3-Partition with Grub4dos.
Wireless ran under XP from the beginning.
So far so good.

Then I tried these Puppies:
Slacko
528
525
525retro
520

Not one did connect, not even after installing these PETs
rfkill-upgrade-k2.6.33.2.pet
ath5k-patched-k2.6.33.2.pet
to make the ath5k run.

My next idea was Wary 5.2.
Wireless works, but Firefox and Thunderbird are a no go, or are so difficult to install, that it was beyond my scope.

Last chance: Your Puppy 432v3


Bingo! This Puppy reckognises the Atheros Modul and establishes a connection that survives a reboot. And....I can use FF and TB from mnt/home.

Great and thanks for a Puppy that came in handy after all these years.
