I can't reccommend one as i don't use software firewall. but the other's have been discussing rc.firewall.dsl which sounds good. Also don't go above sarge repos, you'll get to many problems and the synaptic in sarge repo is better. just enable apt than go to /etc/apt sources.list and uncomment the top one and change the it to sarge and add the stuff behind main(non-free..) then apt-get update and apt-get install synaptic. It will install and upgrade like 29+ apps including fluxbox, answer yes or y to everything.

Thanks; did it.

I am baffled over the apt and synaptic having to be enabled.

Know What was the ideology behind that?

You could also say 'if FF didn't show a page right you could use Galeon' etc.

If you ask for an opinion and then somebody gives their opinion and then you don't like it and put words back into their mounth, that's rude, I think.

Thulemanden,

in my post I have listed some apps which could maybe be remove/replace by extensions (a kind of follow up of a more past discussion about apps in DSL):

http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=13757

I was very surprised not to find a lot of apps to remove, but only a few of them. So, I believe it speaks a lot for the way Robert and John have designed DSL, which is small and GUI enough without being less linux and CLI (if such an association would have some relevance).

yours

I play games in DSL. Not like my hardcore max fps water vised maps stereo 3d glasses days, but its still something I toy with now and again. I didn't get WoW running on it tho, so I kinda gave up at installing the latest and greatests.. but I do play some of the games that come on the CD, Xtris and freecell. the rest could go and I'd never miss them. I toy with the games repository sometimes tho, got a bit of a thing for tuxracer now hehe

If I ever work out how package creation works I'd make a bunch of them, fill in some of the gaps (nethack, but no rogue,moria,angband,omega... etc) but I haven't quite figured out how it all works yet. I did manage to make a gforth.dsl with the deb2dsl script, but I haven't worked out how to do it the other ways yet.

Edit: I believe you must enable aptget due to space constraints. the dsl-dpkg.dsl is the "missing" part of apt-get. Under normal use you never need those files in DSL, so they can be removed from the image. if you want to go poke around in apt you need to get its data back.
