Release Candidates :: DSL-2.2RC1

NICE TO HAVE

a 24 hours/ am-pm clock option, just if it is a minor R&D change. I think European countries would appreciate, but it's a minor request, we can live w/o it of course!!

Problem to save the language on Frugal Install , help please!!

After Frugal install, I saved the applis thru emelfm by copying /mnt --> /cdrom OK

I saved the set-up parameters by clicking on the Backup/Restore button and writing my HD device Nb (hda6 in my case)

I checked in /cdrom that backup.tar.gz was there BUT the French keyboard is never saved, always US keyboard, and it worked fine in 2.1??

Any bug? did I miss something?

Thx for your advices :laugh:

The loadkeys your_keymap_here command is in /opt/bootlocal.sh

/opt/bootlocal.sh is by default part of filetool.lst and therefore should be in your backup.tar.gz

Check your /opt/bootlocal.sh file.

Grim: upx is great as far as memory on a toram booted dsl, but doesn't reduce the size of the dsl iso much (if any) because the iso KNOPPIX is already compressed.
So what you gained by the create_compressed_fs is lost by trying to compress an already compressed file.

Yeah, I guess I need to wade through create_compressed_fs and see what's going on but, don't we use cramfs too? Isn't that more compression?

I think betaftp should stay in the distro.
Athough I agree with Grim that a user could create a website and allow downloads from that using monkey, I believe ftp is easier for a newer user to impliment and get running.
It also provides password security and can be accessed from internet explorer.

I have to disagree with you on the beatftpd though. SSH is a drop in replacement for FTP and it doesn't transmit passwords in cleartext across the network. With all of the complaints about multiple wm's/editors/browsers, why include SSH and FTP, especially since FTP's weaknesses are well known and widely exploited. Trying to reclaim space on a desktop distro, the FTP server should be the one to go.

Fluxbox has always had this ability. Simply change the time string in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/init

check the strftime man page for the format:
