This is a list of scripts used in DSL as of version 1.5
The list does not include all scripts, but only those that
were created or modified specifically for DSL. The main
reason this was made is because I often refer to these
scripts to learn more about scripting myself, and to
better understand how DSL works. I thought it might also
be useful to others who are interested in learning the
details of DSL behavior. This list is probably not a full
representation of all DSL scripts, and will require edits.
Any additions and corrections are welcome.
Thanks goes out in particular to Robert Shingledecker,
whose hard work on most of these scripts has given DSL
life beyond that of a mere live CD.
