Site News :: DSL v3.4



I have just posted the first extension for the new initrd version of DSL.
This extension is a slightly re-worked version of the Mattias Schlenker scripts.

It contains both a DHCP and a TFTP server.

It turns a booted DSL initrd version into a PXE server.

Can be run from runlevel 2 for a purely sever like environment.

pxedsl.tar.gz

You can find it here

Thank you so much for making the initrd.iso version of DSL!! Now I have a great tool to add to the network bootserver. Keep up the great work!!
Will there be a future version of DSL that returns to the previous method of not loading entirely into RAM? I know a lot of hardware I've put into use (and still have in use) that won't meet the new ram requirements.

Just don't use the initrd version.

btw, some links in http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/DamnSmallLinux/mydsl/ are still pointing to ibiblio

I tried this too. Nice to see the line "running dsl-3.4" along with no more line about automounter. Why weren't these mentioned in changelog?

As DSL doesn't include locales, setting LANG to anything other than C or POSIX causes errors. I made a little patch to correct that, it also makes the default keymap for finnish fi-latin9. Here

Apply from /etc/init.d with patch -p0
