Excellent hardware detection as always.

Sneekylinux just put out a DSL video on Youtube too....but for some reason I can't post a link.

Additional testing notes before I forget.....  Successfully used ps/2 mouse and keyboard in test 1 and used USB mouse and keyboard for test 2...... no problems with either box.

Installed Opera to the frugal install on the Athlon XP box..... posting from it now.

Another quick test of 4.11 rc on a bit more appropriate hardware.Old Celeron with 128 Mb of ram.All the basics.... sound,internet and display working ootb.Just boot the cd and it works.

Manual frugal install completed.... no problems.Installed Rox with MyDSL Browser... working fine.  Posting from Dillo....works well too.

First quick live test...... hardware a bit newer than the target but........ Booted to a 1024x768 desktop with working sound and internet out of the box. All apps I've tried so far appear to be working.

Going to replace my frugal install of 4.4.10 with this for further tests and I'll drag out some older hardware tomorrow too. Looks pretty solid.

Downloading........ it's 4:30 am here so I'll do some testing after I get some sleep.

Glad to see things are getting underway again.Looking forward to testing the first new release.
