Syslinux and embedded versions are also ready for download.

Joe's Window Manager is very small and uses very little ram.  While running JWM DSL will use even less resources than when in Fluxbox.  Also, a plus for some of you, JVM has a very familiar look and feel for those who are migrating from a Windows environment.  Fluxbox fans, don't worry, it is still the default window manager.  Robert put a good amount of time into making JWM work with DSL and the MyDSL system.

Last minute change!  We are putting in a small hack in Firefox to make integration with our Java UCI seamless.  This has already been implemented in dsl-2.0RC2.iso, if you want this feature in the syslinux and embedded version wait until tomorrow.
SWEET! i don`t really like the whole jwm, because it looks to much like micro$oft windows, but it's cool to have a 2nd window manager. and keep up the GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!

Sweet! Thanks for find, it helps newpie like me a lot.

I'm not sure if this is 2.0RCx related, but why mkwriteable dot make /etc/* writeable? One can't edit /etc/pcmcia/config .

Thanks for all the hard work. I really like fluxbox, but I might give JWM a try since I am somewhat limited on ram. Its always nice to know your thinking about those of us with limited resources.
