Hello,

I need to burn my own DSL iso with two specific packages added, namely dsl-dpkg and wine.  So I booted up, placed the two dsl files in a directory:
/mnt/hdb1/dsl
and ran mkmydsl

I put the work directory as
/mnt/hdb1/dsl

and it created an iso approximately 70mb big.  So I thought it worked.  When I wrote the iso and booted with it, wine is not loaded?

What am I doing wrong?

What's the output of `find /cdrom/` and `cat /proc/cmdline` ? Which version of DSL are you using?

Not sure if certain types of extensions aren't autoloaded yet... but for now you can manually load the extensions.

The script that doesn't seem to be working is DSL3.3, I get very different options when running DSL3.1 (it asks me which .dsl's I'd like autoloaded, and which extensions are optional).

I potter away and post my results tomorrow.

The newer version in DSL v.3.3 is based on a successfully running frugal installation.

Test your extensions and configuration with frugal before you try to make an iso. It then becomes trivial.

Oh, okay, I was trying to test it while running as a live CD.  I think the Wiki needs to be updated then.
