Well well the new release is here... canīt wait to download it and give it a go, about this dilemma with MC... well, I think making an extra package that one could download/install would be a good idea and everybody would be happy, I donīt use MC myself so often so I guess that could be a solution. Just my 2 cents.Robert, with going back to the 2.4.26 kernel is DSL back to using just 8 cloops? I ask this because I notice there are alot of uci's being submitted to mydsl testing.
Thanksregarding what to keep vs what to get rid of:
Hello. Thought I'd chime in, as well.
(IMHO)
I would like to keep firefox, get rid of dillo, and reinsert links-hacked [or some console web browser that can use gpm].
I agree that there should be as little duplication as possible, unless you're talking about a console app as the lowend app and an X app as the high end. I would like to see the console supported more. I'd love to see gpm included and working with mc --I don't know how to fix mc myself for gpm. Also, were you guys aware that mc can browse ftp servers? pretty cool.
regarding window managers: I think jwm is the smartest choice i've seen. It's lightweight and familiar.[I say, just pick one, and make it work] I do have to say, I miss seeing the mountapp always on the screen, though. What I'm looking for in a window managers is : left click somewhere gives you a menu. [touchscreens are usually left click only] that could be jwm, wmaker [love the menus], or icewm [love the themings]...
Games: Though I have used the card games, they aren't essental. I wouldn't miss them much, if it was games vs functionality. it would be nice to have one tiny token game though.I think tetris is a fine choice. curtis is a 13kb [stripped] console tetris. http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_8886.html Also--were you aware that firefox could host javascript games? I just played a fun game of othello, in firefox. from http://www.lutanho.net/stroke/play.html
this is probably asking too much, but speaking of firefox again, a *really* useful extension to have is the NoScript extension, which gives fine grain control over which websites can use javascript. [it defaults to turning js off] If you don't feel comfortable with installing it into the browser, having it on the iso would be real nice. [it is 101 kb, though]Ndiswrapper was working with 2.1 now locking up is this a kernel problem?

To all MC fans, Midnight Commander will be back in DSL. Look for it in the next RC.
