I want to install dsl on a 256 mb usb pen drive, wich I will use to have my personal computer with me when I go home on vacation and such.What I need to know is if it's possible to install some additional apps like Firefox, mplayer, kopete/gaim and amarok on this distro. Planned to make dsl as personal as possible. Will use my 60 gb mp3 player as a additional harddrive with personal documents on, and wonder if dsl will support it?

Yep.There is a script for installing DSL on your USBkey in your menu under Apps>Tools>Install to USB Pendrive .. Once installed... Add the firefox.uci, j2re1.4.2, ayttm.dsl or amsn.tar.gz and tcktk8.3 to a directory called " /optional " ( just make one off the root ) Add mplayer.dsl or xine.dsl ( there is an mplayerplugin for firefox ) All of these are available in the DSL repository , just click and run.. Leave yourself 10-20MB for making backups of your mail, settings, etc.. 73 ke4nt Posted by marco on Sep. 29 2004,23:47
