Release Candidates :: DSL-2.2RC1

John: I think you're right in saying that there would be greater disdain for the removal of Emelfm. Personally I very seldom use it...mainly just when i boot into a vanilla DSL without my mc configs....but i think most users do.

Me, I don't care. I already have a working version of mc that includes subshell, user menu, resizable window, ability to enter archives as directories, and probably some other stuff not available in the DSL version, so i'm going to use that even if you decide to put mc back in =o). It the same with Vim. I never use Beaver, but i don't often use DSL's vim either...gotta have my syntax highlighting!

crusadingknight: As far as I know, the packages list is becoming less and less applicable with each release. That list is for Debian packages only, which seem to be getting ripped out of DSL a little more each month.

Yes I DO USE Emelfm now that I discovered and learnt how to use this wonderful, so comprehensive tool for the NON terminal fanatics!!!!

I like emelfm better, but mc would be OK.

I see in the Desktop->dockapps menu that there are lots of choices for things that don't exist anymore, like the doc apps.

My BCM5700 network card is no longer supported right out of the box, but that is to be expected. I'll miss the SATA support as well.

If you want to remove something, I'd recomend siag spreadsheet.

As far as the busybox vi, please, no more busybox anything. It's nice that it's small and all, but half of the things I try to do don't work and it takes forever to figure out that the ps is there, but it's a stripped down piece of crap ps that lacks the command line switches what I was trying to run required.

Perhaps beaver is a good candidate to go? VIM does the same...

I am a clueless n00b so please bear with me

I would like to have siag available in DSL

The version of Vim in DSL doesn't support syntax highlighting. Beaver does. (Myself, I recompiled). Anyway, I doubt people new to DSL will like a variety of GUI office apps, and only vim and nano for text editors.

Myself, I dislike nano, but it probably has it's followers.
