Release Candidates :: DSL 2.0RC2!



symbolic link /var/spool/mail points to nowhere. => /var/mail is missing.

PS: ( just have remote access, system is started with option toram and runlevel 2, do not think it's important for this bug )

Edit: There are some more files/directories missing. Check can be done by
script below. ( I know, some files/directory are in separate packages )
Some might be useful to add like /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.4.31/pcmcia/aha152x_cs.o
Code Sample

cat /tmp/haveaniceday
find . -type l |
while read file
do
       ls -l "$file"
done | cut -c56- |
while read a x b
do
       cd `dirname "$a"`
       c=`basename "$a"`
       if [ ! -r "$b" ]
       then
               echo Missing $a
               ls -l "$c"
       fi
       cd -
done

I am sorry if it's not allowed to ask here.
Debug-Feature request: add "strace" and may be "lsof"

I love dsl 1.5 and really enjoy working with it but with the new release candidates i can't open Firefox on any of my computers, one with pentiumII the other with AMD chip.
Dear administrator:If this isn't the right place to tell please put it to the right adress

Try removing your existing /home/dsl/.mozilla directory.
I made HD installation of DSL on IBM Thinkpad 390X 2626HNU
(Mobile Pentium II / 400,128 SDRAM,6.4GB)

Everything were going smooth, but computer was freezing at start of screensaver (my guess),  the same was on liveCD

so I added

xset s off       &                
#to disable the blank screensaver
xset -dpms       &              
#to disable the monitor dpms feature, like suspending, etc.

as it was sugested here:
http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....ensaver

to .xinitrc and everything seems ok now.

Maybe there are better ways to solve this problem?

other things: it seems that gtk2-0705.dsl can not be installed(?)
as a result (?)  gftp does not work...so I have to use comand line sftp.
That what I get:

dsl@box:~$ gftp
