Please note the following files have been updated and are likely in your backup.
You should compare and copy the new updated version from /etc/skel/

.fluxbox/menu
.jwmrc
.xinitrc

Is there a torrent available?

I can't seem to connect with the FTP site.

The alsa autoconfig seems to work fine with a legacy boot - thanks.

Which output plugin is meant to be used with xmms - OSS or ALSA? I only seem to get any sound with OSS

I think I did it wrong last time. Please advise:

Should I just go ahead and replace the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file on my DSL boot partition with the new one, and go ahead and boot the frugal installation?

And then look at those files in /etc/skel/ ?

Thanks,
Sheldon
