Can you make the SFS installer equipped SFS modules converter in case of installing SFS modules from other puppy version (esp. during upgrades), the SFS modules will be converted to latest version first before install it on full HD.

I have used your SFS installer on a frugal install of Puppy 431, and Puppy 432 and I can install the kernel source SFS, and the devx SFS files and have them work without rebooting.
When I am through, and before I shut down, I can then use Puppy Package Manager to uninstall them.
I never tried it with a low memory PC though. I have 3 gigs memory to play with.
But to be able to do that without ever rebooting is a plus in my opinion.
If you cannot tell, you have a fan here!

Something to be clarified for newbies (or people hating programming)
Editsfs open any SFS, without converting it
SFS convert : what are the modified files in the SFS ?
2016 : i am used to load 'all' puppies 4 on the back of newest ones, mainly to get wireless connexion.
Version converter is a real trouble,
