Release Candidates :: DSL 2.0RC2!

The DSL dev team strikes again!!!
If I were a linux distro, I would be afraid this 50MB penguin!

( Hi, first thanks for DSL

second, hope it's right to post here. )

- RC2-security question:
/etc/shadow has a password set for root and dsl . ( I do not know the password ).
Problem if:
- user changes e.g. only root password
- user starts ssh
=> access to the system by default password of user dsl.

I am not sure but:
- should be "*" in /etc/shadow
- can be overwritten by "passwd" if it's "*"

Best regards,

Christian

V1.5 Detects and runs fine on Dell Demension XPS 1600 R

V2.0 RC1 and RC2 do not detect the card.

I am using a minimal version of Joe's Window Manager. It is quite amazing with its small size and small use of resources. I am glad to see others that have the same vision that we do.

I will be posting more modules shortly.

Oops almost forgot.

Some files that have changed that may be in your backup and therefore would overwrite, thereby disabling, some new features:

1. .xfiletool.lst
2. .xinitrc
3. .fluxbox/menu
