Release Candidates :: DSL-2.0RC1



2.0rc1 seems to have fixed the problem of booting on my hp ze4560us lappy. With earlier versions I needed to use the bootcode 'acpi=off', but now it seems to boot fine. I had some problems going to 2.0rc1 on my IBM lappy, although that is probably my own user error. So I will wait for 2.0 to try again.
I'm testing DSL-2.0RC1 and Knoppix 3.4 on Laptop: ACER Aspire 3003NLCi, AMD Sempron 3000+ 1800MHz

Both use INIT: version 2.78-knoppix-booting. I got 2 different things below on booting.

DSL-2.0RC1:-
Autoconfiguraing devices... XXX modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-2
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-2
Done.

Knoppix 3.4:-
ACPI Bios found, activating modules: ac battery button fan processor thermal
Autoconfiguraing devices... XXX Done.

I would like to see the meesage like Knoppix 3.4 in DSL-2.0RC2.  :D
I am running RC2.0RC1 on a dell inspiron 3000.. the old p233 with 272mb of ram. proving that if you throw enough ram at anything it will work albeit slowly.. untill I found DSL I have followed you through the itterations and this seems to be the best one yet.. I love the package of open office 2.0 that has been added under testing.. Thanks for the excellent update.. hope more people keep using your fantastic efforts and software.. will be adding to your collection soon.
is it possible for you guys to post an md5sum.txt file for the iso and the other related files. so that we could ensure that the download is accurate and that the md5sum matches the one posted.

it will save tons efforts to get a specific ISO troubleshooted just to find that the downloaded ISO is corrupted.
The checksum is found right next to the ISO file.  It has the same filename, with ".md5.txt" appended to it.
