Well, since there were no version numbers mentioned, it was my distinct impression from

Knoppix 3.4 uses isolinux, before it was using syslinux. DSL 0.7.x and prior has syslinux. The DSL testing version has isolinux. These two are very different in how things are packed for booting. If Knoppix 3.4 works then I am sure the new testing version will work. It will be sooner than you think.

that a KNOPPIX 3.4 based DSL was just around the corner.

I didn't insinuate or imply, you inferred. I mentioned simply that I can boot with Feather and that I can't with DSL. In those circumstances, is it really a question of something being better for me or rather something being at all for me?

You've actually managed to take my remarks personally? Your sarcasm notwithstanding, it's certainly clear that you must feel that I'm special, very special indeed. I mean really, my opinions matter to you? Yours don't matter to me. Think about it.

Hi Chris. As I mentioned to cbagger above, it's less a matter of seeing these two distros as competitors than it is being able to use one of them at all. I had the impression from roberts's remarks that release of a KNOPPIX 3.4 based DSL was immanent. Clearly, I've misunderstood something here. That notwithstanding, I'm going to need to use something and I'm afraid that's going to have to be Feather.

Yes, it is. I'm left with no choice but to elect Feather for my purposes. Sorry I couldn't give DSL an in-place test.
