Other Help Topics :: DSL packages



Well, to repeat myself :) unc is a clooped (=compressed for use with cloop) iso (9660) image. You don't have to create it yourself, just create a .dsl and have dsl2unc transform it for you.

All DSL packages and procedures (backup etc) use gzip, because bzip2 has way steeper ram & power requirements.
Ok. Thanks for all the info. I'll try to pull some dsl pkgs out soon.
Btw.
Would it be possible to have user to choose how to install packages. In form of .dsl or in form of unmountable .unc?
This way we could reduce the number of packages having same program. Also it makes (IMHO) package installing less confusing.
Unc's aren't too unmountable, that tends to crash unionfs :p
