I believe there is explanation for every problem in the web, just use the search, or uncle google. but would it be nicer if DSL have a more complete wiki or how to. not all new user are experience with linux. besides it could save a lot of question in the forum.

NB: My first post. thanks for allowing me to use the board

What specifically do you think is lacking in the wiki? One of the great things about the wiki is anyone can contribute.

what i mean is the lack of information in wiki most of them are just the basic needs of dsl. i'm looking for more info how to improve dsl capabilities. and i am hoping the wiki could be more organize and up to date. for example this is what i found could be usefull www.gentoo-wiki.com/Index:HOWTO

since dsl is cut to it's size (50Mb). most of the apps are using mydsl. mydsl is fine but it has it's limit. not all apps will be included in mydsl. since i'm new to linux it's kinda hard for me to installing apps.

info i was looking for such as how to make apps work with dsl. how to compile modules and apps. for example like i was installing XFree86 it takes me around three days to make it working. i have to google use the search. it is more like a puzzle, i have to take pieces of it and combine it into one.

yes the forum helps alot. you could post ur question and the community will help you. but the info needed it's all to scattered around the forum and you have to search it thread to thread. it will be nice if the info such as tutorial and step by step guide are also posted  in wiki. but in the other hand to have a great wiki it is not such an easy task. most of the wiki's are contributed from it's community so it will take times to build a full wiki
