Release Candidates :: DSL-2.0RC1

Quote (Guest @ Oct. 13 2005,19:15)

could that be a 2.6.x kernel?

the latest feather is 2.4.27 knoppix based

I do not know if this is new stuff or not but...

In the "Control Panel" DHCP client doesn't toggle on and off correctly. I toggled it off and then had to restart to get it working again. I'm not sure that "up" and "down" on the button work correctly, either.

Whenever I try to use apt-get, it requires using the -o=APT::Force-LoopBreak option because of updating e2fsprogs. Can this be updated in the base?

The superuser prompt changed in 1.5 and 2.0RC1. Can we change it back to the working directory and cyan rather than bash-2.05b#?

The big module dependant dsl file I know of is alsa.debs. Any chance of updating this? I tried using gcc to compile the one from http://www.alsa-project.org/ but I could not do it. Even after I loaded the 2.4.31 kernel from kernel.org it still could not find version.h (neither could I).

I like the elephant background better. Not a big deal, though.

And of course that 2.1M includes ICQ as well as AIM and IRC.

Something is wrong with nICQ, already included in DSL?

nAIM does aim, irc, and icq in just under 360k. Best deal I've seen for the features you get in that package, and now that nAIM is using TOC2, all is good in the world again.

batman,

I think Feather does not use the same way of detecting framebuffer size that DSL does. They are also quite a bit larger than DSL, so they can afford the space to use fancier screen-drawing methods.

One thing about Intel graphics, though. They're still better than NeoMagic cards. Except for the i_830 chipsets. Those are spawned by Satan.

Hmph. That's a little out of context. I *was* pointing out the other protocols were the big benefit of centericq (as well as the UI of course).

But of course, as mentioned, I'd just as soon drop all IM. No point in a client that only lets me sign on a couple of protocols. I much rather launch a web client or run it from home.
icq, yahoo, msn, aim, irc, jab and lj is what I am currently signed on in centericq.
As well as the odd RSS feed or two.

Hardly worth discussing. DSL has so many packages I like I can hardly begrudge other people their favourites. Especially now that one can consider BBC linux dead n buried.

Pity I'm down to my last credit card sized CD

DSL is just too dang popular. Someone always asks for it when I whip it out.

Time to find a mini CD distro I 'spose. I've got plenty of those left.

Hi,

I'm working DSL with the instalation of the TripleBoot in a USB pen, and with the protect
mode for the backup. So I can use DSL at home and at work.
Is very comfortable, because to update to a new version I have only to substitute the
DSL.iso in the qemu directory.

With the new 2.0rc1 version I have in the startup a lot of errors concern to the modprobe
of the 2.4.24 kernel version, and after introducing the password for the desencriptation
don't restore the backup.des with new errors of the same type.
If I install another time the 1.5 version there is no problem.

I think that the problem is the minirt24 of the base directory of the tripleboot form, it
is for the 2.4.24 kernel version and not for the 2.4.31 version.

Roberts, It's posible to make a minirt24 version of the new relase for the tripleboot??

For me is very useful DSL in this form and I want to work with the new relase and the
next comming relases

Thanks a lot for your work in this Linux distribution.

Onyarian.
