because it does not recognize some 'my' extensions.
Not sure what you mean by 'my', but extensions should still be working - although you might have to re-download yours to get DSL 4.0 compatible icons.

First of all thank you and Roberts for your fast reply.

It is not a matter of icons. I wanted to include at boot time a Wine extension, a GTK library, a NVU and a Gimp (all of them MyDSL extensions). It seems that some were 'accepted' and included in the MyDSL menu at boot time and some other did not.

Later on I tested to start the extensions from a USB pendrive instead of doing from the same CDrom, with the same results. These were extensions which already run with 3.4.5 without problems.

The way I run DSL is, making first an isolinux based multiboot disk, with DSL, some DOS images, PartedImage, and some other stuff, using the Bart's way to create a multiboot disk (see my page). The version that I am using is the embedded DSL. In this way I have also the opportunity to run the same DSL in Windows, with qemu. By doing so, I lost part of the cheatcodes in order to have a reduced boot-options menu, and only use a modified default boot option with 'toram' intruction included. Until the 4.0 version it run fine. Is with this change when I saw the problem mentioned about not being able to start MyDSL extensions from a local place. Of course I mount the CDRom before to run any extension.

Yes I know I need some time to adapt myself to the new desktop...

Regards.

During 4.0 RC testing cycle my attention was brought to certain extensions that were problematic. If you are having issues with certain extensions, you should such in the extension area.

But first thing is to re-download the problem extension as I have been through two iterations of changes to all extensions to bring them into compilance.
Thank you Roberts, I will try again the version 4, will see if Ican reproduce the errors, and if there are not solved with fresh downloaded MyDSL extensions, will post the problem in the corresponding sub-forum. It will take some time, but it is important to me to solve this.

I understand the new desktop based on documents instead of applications, but right now it is more difficult to me, because my way to work with computers is to choose which application I want to use to open a kind of document. Again I know it is a matter of time.

fyi: again, that is not the case (see my previous post)
Robert when you say "less sudo", I assume you mean some sudos have been removed from scripts where they were either redundant (because it's a system script being run by root anyway) or where su rights shouldn't be required (eg not writing to a system area?)
