Change Log for DSL v.3.4.1

* Fixed non-critical bug in dsl-config concerning hard drive installations.
* Fixed bug in Cron when started from DSLpanel.
* Added dsl 3 runlevel for multiple user dsl consoles.
* Fixed bug in iwconfig-setup

* Added vim link
* Patched knoppix-autoconfig to correct language issues.

Nice to see one more 3.x release for those who haven't yet made their mind about switching to 4.x
Version 4 is still very much in a state of flux. At least as far as what the boot defaults should be. The alpha cuts were showcasing that which was new. 4.0 final may not be that much different from 3.4.x

I will try to issue maintanence (bug fix) releases for v3.4.x  while and until 4.0 settles down.

Please continue to leave feedback so corrections can continue.

I for one am happy to hear that, I know others want to change a lot, perhaps in the interest of "modernising" but DSL works for me quite nicely as it stands. Gosh, I even like emelfm and fluxbox. I appreciate the time you spend on this Robert, thanks.

I'll put a vote in for emelfm as well. On systems with small screens (e.g. Toshiba Libretto) emelfm is great - easy to move files around & easy to navigate. MC would be good if it would resize with the window, but until I can get that sorted I'd be very sorry to lose emelfm, though I could do without dfm as it opens far too many windows (can it be made to reuse the same window - is there a shortcut to close all the open windows (like shift-left-click on the 'X' in M$-windoze))
