Any news?

Maybe it would also be possible to do it by the user itself, if there is a step by step instruction available.

Yesterday I thought to switch to Puppy, but after the first boot of the latest live-CD version, I cancelled this idea again

In my opinion, DSL is much nicer.

Hope there is a 2.6.x kernel version of DSL soon.
I don't want to nerve, but I hope you understand.

Thank you

No-one's in a hurry, try to hang in there

I'm planning to have 2.6 in my ucDSL, for other stuff to-be in it see my thread "my server is up". But it has no hurry either..

But how much time do you estimate ?

Now I have read about the possibility to install Ubuntu to an USB memory stick. I will check.
But surely it is not as easy as with DSL.

I can eat dinner before Ubuntu finishes loading from a CD.

Right, beside some further things.

Seems there is no other possibility than to wait for a 2.6.x kernel DSL and this could take further months

99% of the users are happy with kernel 2.4.x ??
1% of the users need kernel 2.6.x due to too new hardware ??
This is like it looks for me.

Maybe I will downgrade to an ordinary IDE CD-Rom drive and an additional older network card, if there won't be any 2.6.x kernel version soon.

DSL-N is no alternative, as it is in a very early not anymore supported stage.

As already written in an earlier email:
If I would have known that there is no full support for newer network cards and SATA drives in kernel 2.4.x, I would not have voted for it.

Sorry, little bit frustrated and helpless ..
But still with hope!
