User Feedback :: New DSL User

I downloaded DSL the other day, and burned a live CD. Used the live CD to install to an old USB JumpDrive I had around. This turned out to be a great idea since my hard disk started clicking and died a few days later. I've been able to keep using my computer thanks to DSL and booting from the CD / USB.

I've really enjoyed using it so far, and I'm impressed by how much is packed into it. I also like how simple it is - plain Knoppix always seems too cluttered to really use.

I have had one frustration with DSL so far. I don't really understand the myDSL extension system, and the documentation all seems to assume that I already kind of know how it works. I'd like to see a really basic explanation - for dummies.

And something that confused me: in the FAQ it says that if you download extensions from the web you can install them if you:

"Press the MyDSL button in EmelFM."

I have not been able to find this button anywhere in the EmelFM program.

Other than some slight confusion with how to add additional programs, I'm quite pleased with DSL.

The mydsl button no longer exists in emelfm. Local mydsl loading has been incorporated into the mydsl tool as "Load Local MyDSL Extension"
