can't i just copy over the software from advanceCD to DSL, including file modes/attributes/permissions/ownership? what would be the problems?
Depends on what parts you want to copy over. If it's just mame+frontend, it may be a better idea to get updated versions via the official upstream sites instead.yes, mainly advmenu, advmame and whatever files missing in DSL that is needed by advmame. i already have the last and final build available.
