Looks cool to me.
just flush my 0.6.2 and installed 0.6.3.
same problem :
no mouse, had to 'ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse'
then netcardconfig, then mount /dev/cdrom.
And the tzconfig is acting bizarre like, asking
again and again for a 'city' ... had to ctrl-c

Last thing : I'm not a fan of 'vi', that's all.
I prefer 'joe' which is pretty ease to use.
How do I replace Midnight Commander 'edit'
feature( which use Vi) by 'joe' ?

now reinstalling shoutcast server and dj part.

stay tune.

Yeah, it looks like tzconfig only works for US time zones, probably the non US timezone info was deleted for space.

Bingo !

everythings are in place and my setup is complete !!!
now need to include in /opt/bootlocal.sh :
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse (serial mouse)
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (cdrom ready at boot)

Looks like pretty functionnal to me

now need to figure out how to play with
samba...

and verify if my soundcard is working....

Steph do you need to do this every time?
I just did rm /dev/mouse and then did ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse
It works OK every time without having to add it to boot local.

Love the new control panel

Hmm... The 0.6.3 ISO info still reports this as KNOPPIX and not DSL, it'd be nice if that wee bit was corrected too. Also... I'm a big fan of DistroWatch... would it be possible to do a DistroWatch style update page where it shows the changes from release to release in a table form?
