Release Candidates :: DSL-2.2RC1

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]...

I also consider jwm a little more intuitive than fluxbox, however there seem to be a number of problems with other MyDSL applications (most notable mplayer) when using it so ...

Robert, with going back to the 2.4.26 kernel is DSL back to using just 8 cloops?

Yes 8 cloops.
With mikshaw's very cool ucitool it is quite manageable and not really an issue.

Please consider keeping MC (or re-introduce it in 2.2) !
Its so essential to many users ....

Oh sorry, i have overlooked the posting, that MC is reinserted.
Thank you, and maybe you should consider dropping some games?

Keep up your good work.

I have a tendence to choose a console based application over an X only alternative just in case X won't run on some machine for whatever the reason.

That said, I would choose mc over emelfm... but I don't use any, nor rox, nor any other file manager.

As mc appears that is going to stay in DSL, its userbase shouldn't be worried, but I still have an urge to understand: why mc and not deco (Demos Commander) or any other less heavy alternative?
