I think that dsl it's fantastic!

I've installed it in a 64 usb pendrive on a Pentium II 233 mhz and it works very good! But there isn't gaim...

I think that is very important for every user. I've a problem: if I try to boot dsl using a pc with a normal usb keyboard and mouse it takes a lot of time, and my usb devices doesn't work! I can't write or move the mouse

Who could help me? Someone thinks that gaim must be put into dsl?

Thanks a lot (and excuse me for my bad english)!

Hello,

Gaim is already in DSL :

gaim-gtk2

If you take your pendrive from one computer to an other did you reconfigure the xserver ?

Cheers

If you have a USB mouse, better boot with xsetup option.

Weird. I'm able to use a USB keyboard without any problem. Even though mine isn't a standard USB Keyboard, it's actually an Alphasmart Dana. It's actually a nice setup. I don't even have to worry about the Dana being plugged in when I boot up. I can write on the Dana and then just plug in the cable to the USB port and use it with the PC. I often boot up and launch xmms using the mouse and then sit across the room with the Dana to write.

I tryied xsetup, but I can't select any option! After boot I can't use my keyboard or mouse. It's a big problem, and I don't now why...
