Does DSl have an easy to configure boot manager?? Cause it would be nice to be able to have DSL and Win 98 on my computer just incase i want to use Yahoo or somthing. Second, what instant messanger client does DSL run? Can I change it to GAIM to Kopete?
Thanks,
Zeke

Easy to configure is a matter of preference I think. Many people think Lilo is easy. Personally I haven't used it since the days when i was just beginning in Linux, so i never learned how to use it. Grub, however, is something I believe to be easy as falling down. There is a grub myDSL extension available in the < repository > (system).DSL uses naim for messaging. I believe there is a Gaim extension in the repository, which requires gtk2 (read the info files).

Im new to this but I can offer a little help here!
As far as Yahoo goes you can use messenger easilly by going to My DSL-net-and downloading ymess.dsl.info It works a treat!
So you wont need win98 to get at Yahoo!
Message me if you get it sorted!
