Site News :: DSL 4.2.4



Okay, I have (finally) tried DSL 4. I booted embedded.
Have to say the new look is great :D

Even the wallpaper, that remotely says vista, is enough un-vistaish to look awesome. The change to JWM was good. Only thing I didn't like was the new default theme for fluxbox, I prefer the dark flux theme from 3.x instead of the bluish one (that also consumes more screen space; I normally wouldn't have noticed, but I've gotten used to the previous theme)

Here's a patch for kbdconfig; it didn't show all keymaps

mkisofs solved as the book....

was a problem of understand that /  \ means to continue writing the line... pag 206,207 the complete line is
# cd /opt
# mkisofs -R -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -pad myapp | create compressed_fs - 65536 > /tmp/myapp.uci

:D  :D  :D

with my wireless problem :

the wireles is loaded with ndiswrapper in aterm

ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/sis163u.inf

ndiswrapper -d 0bf8:100f sis163u

ndiswrapper -m

sis163u installed hardware present try to do a iwconfig

iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx mode managed channel x

with no sucess

and i redo with control panel ndiswrapper..add the essid

and quick said no connected...(with comparation other dsl ver)

i remember that in other ver its added some more latency to work the usb wireless??
Do you modprobe ndiswrapper and pump -i wlan0?

with my wireless problem :

- @ kuky, if it helps, here are the steps I took to get ndiswrapper working on my machine with dsl-4.2.4. This is using a router that broadcasts the essid and uses wep:
