By the way this is my new/old account, so anything that the Tag300 account did is actually done by me.

As I understand it now, the answer is NO.

Well, I can't reinstall Puppy Linux 420 because my new computer doesn't start up that operating system. If I had drivers for that version I might have used it again because that was the first version of the OS, and first Puppy system I used.

Yes, I like the old puppies too. So I often return to my old machines to use them: 214, Legacy (John made a new one!), HamSanBen..., Wary... , a remastered Tahr6.0.2...
For my new laptop I have slacko6.9.9.9 now, or LxPupSc, both excellent.
I look at it this way: it is all puppy anyway.
