Release Candidates :: DSL v3.2 RC3

I have posted about this before.

I have even posted a Notice to Extension Builders

Base system drirectories do not belong in a dsl extension. These are improperly made extensions.

You can actually run a properly created dsl extension with unionfs, not that that would be desireable.
I have only stated not to do so because, I have not had time to
police every extension submitted and lately many dsl extensions are not in compliance.

If you simply tar -ztf amsn-tcltk-095-ver5.dsl you will quickly and easily see the non-complicance.

Easy fix for any such extension, using the above as an example:

1. tar -ztf amsn-tcltk-0.95-ver5.dsl > list
2. Using your favorite editor, edit list and delete base system directories
3 tar -T list -czvf amsn-tcltk-0.95-ver5.dsl

I'm trying to use the alsa boot option. (With alsa.unc and gnu-utils.unc installed). Everything boots fine, but I have no sound + Dmix crashes when I try to change anything in it.

Flash 9 Beta seems to like the alsa settings more (no more crashes) but youtube without sound

System : HP t5720 (driver i810_audio is used when booted without alsa)

SORRY : Was using RC2. I'll give it a try with RC3

Using mkmydsl i've made a custom iso with some *.dsl extensions in it. I still have a /mydsl directory (In order to put there extensions i want to test and for *.uci and *.unc (Adding them to a custom live-cd makes this live-cd unmountable). The problem is the extensions in the /mydsl directory aren't detected at boot time. Is it normal? Any workarounds?

Btw i saw that one can have a "modules" subdirectory in /mydsl. What is it for? Does it mean that if one copies an xxx.o file there, modprobe isn't needed?

The modules subdirectory is for extra modules to be insmod at boot time. I will take a look at mkmydsl, but for now, if I recall, it was setup to use the optional directory and or you can always add mydsl-load(s) in /opt/bootlocal.sh
