Site News :: DSL v2.4 is out



With frugal type installs, the install scripts upgrade option automates the process replacing the systems files of KNOPPIX, linux24 and minirt24.gz.
Thanks clivesay - I'll give it a try (whilst backing up the whole drive in case I need to restore it afterwards, of course...).

Would I also need to modify my .xinitrc file, as I use a UK keyboard? That falls under "non-US", if not quite "foreign language"  :D I say "modify", as my .xinitrc contains some 'customised' items, and I wouldn't want to lose these.

Thanks again,
Tim. :D
Ah - thanks roberts - just saw your reply too, and that sounds much easier :)

Would still like to know about the .xinitrc question - as a user of a UK keyboard, is it OK to leave the file as it is?

Thanks,
Tim
It should be "ok" to keep your old file, but you might want to compare them just to see if an upgrade makes any improvement.  If your old .xinitrc no longer works, you can copy the new one from /etc/skel
Are there any MAJOR changes/fixes from 2.4RC2 to this final released version?   Now that gardening season is here, I'd like to avoid a few hours of re-installing if I don't absolutlely have to.
