Updated files that are likely in your backup.

I've made a custom iso with mkmydsl, DSL v3.2RC2 and some unc extensions. When using this live-CD (with toram), I can't eject the CD or even umount it. Is it normal? Any workarounds?

Without the 60 MB virtual disk how can users use MyDSL?

Possible problem with the dsl-dpkg.dsl

the symlink is created in /var/lib pointing at /KNOPPIX/var/lib, there is nothing there. So dpkg fails.

any attempt to create the directory results in "read only file system"

I'm guessing this is a mounting error that has crept in somewhere
