Release Candidates :: DSLv3.0RC2

hi there

just want to throw in my 2 cents...

my system setup -- the 'almost' frugal:
startup from liveCD once with 'tohd'-option, ever since:
dsl dma fromhd=/dev/hda... and mydsl=/dev/hda.../mydsl

to ZoOp:

i tried it your way .. with these results...

whenever the 'mydsl' consists only of .unc extensions everything loads fine .. if i throw in one single .uci the uci gets loaded and the .unc are ignored

different from your experience i get no error messages though .. do you have a boot option added that provide more message output ?

[B] post withdrawn .. problem seems to be on my end

Here is my test box:

As you can see uci and unc and all are auto loaded at boot time.

Perhaps there are specific extensions that are the problem.
Perhaps those extensions need to be identified so that they may be fixed.

point taken .. thanks for your patience... :;):

the extensions would've been in my case:
gnu-utils.unc
gtk2-0705.unc
gkrellm-gtk2-2.2.2.unc

gqview-1.2.2.uci

'would have been' because right now everything loads .. and that without the 'mydsl=' boot option...

now i have to figure out what i did - or did not do before...

...and perhaps i should try that instead of throwing around with cents...
