Hey folks, we need some help with extension testing. We need to know what in the current or testing MyDSL repository works with DSL-N. If you have used an extension and it worked without a glitch please post it here.

We will be building a new repository for DSL-N with only the extensions which have been verified to work.

Thanks for you help!

Tested these in DSL 01RC2:

firefox-1.5.0.4.uci: works, use regularly
gnu-utils.dsl: works, use regularly
samba.unc: works, thoroughly tested
dsl-dpkg.dsl: works -- seems to work, I haven't tested it thoroughly

Does not work:

gnu-utils.unc: multiple failures. commands not found. perverts /opt directory. cannot be unloaded.
