I have been using regular 4.3.1, as well as Toutou 4.3.1 and the KDE Puppy 4.3.1 for a while now, and they are quite nice.

I don't think they need a new version or kernel, but there is a lack of software for them, people don't make .pets for 4.3.1 much anymore. And that is often what kills an o.s.

For example, there was at one time a .pet for lmms, and several for Audacity. The links are now gone.

On the other hand, surprisingly, I tried several Wine versions from the repository, and both 1.5.2 for Slacko and 1.5.0 for Lucid actually work fine on Puppy 4.3.1! Very Happy

Software can become unable due to temporary storage. Its always worth asking the person providing it if they can make it available again. Cool

It's probably not worth it, they were pretty old versions.

Incidentally, I tried those Wines again and noticed there is a small bug that in certain places the cursor appears as a big black block. Overall though, they seem to run smoother than the latest 4.3.1 Wine I could find, which is 1.3.2.

This is even more of a reason why some new software should also be compiled for 4.3.1.

Why not use green_dome's Wine builds? The latest build is 1.5.17, and they've always worked great for me in Puppy 4.3.1. Smile

Oh yeah, I just tried that, works really well. It doesn't even feel like 4.3.1, it's so fast.
