Site News :: DSL v3.4

We posted the latest release of DSL on our site as a torrent for those that would like to use BitTorrent. A ton of people have downloaded so far and the seed/leech ratio has been good so far.

we hope this helps with badnwidth.

haven't tried any new version for a while now.
i dunno if it's the woody bug or emelfm improved,
but emelfm mount/umount is working proper now.

Hey everyone!

I haven't been using DSL for a while, but I've come across some scenarios during which I will need to use a very small Live-distribution.

At the moment, I'm having a problem with one of my ethernet cards. I've researched this, so I've got a couple questions about the new DSL.

Does it include forcedeth?

I'm using a MCP51 nVidia-type ethernet card, and I believe it only works with the forcedeth module.

Also, I'm really curious about this next one, because not finding out the answer sets me back a couple of days.

Is there any way of finding out if the forcedeth module is included in any of the other DSLinux distributions?

I really don't want to download all of them to find out.

Genecks: that question about that has been floating around for some time... it's not included in DSL 3.4. You can use DSL 2.1b (2.4.31 kernel) or try DSL 4a1 (2.4.34.1 kernel)

I'm trying to get WPA working on a tp-link WN510G card. Is the version of mdawifi in madwifi.uci newer than that included in the 3.4 distribution of DSL? (i.e should I use the uci file or not?)

I've tried ndiswrapper, but it fails with a bad driver (or invalid driver) message whichever of the drivers I use of the CD that came with the card.

--EDIT--

OK got ndiswrapper working - don't know why it just suddenly sprung into life, having failed several times before - it may have been that I included the full path to the inf file whereas previously I had been running in the directory containing the inf file & therefore not putting in the full path.
