My Damn Small Linux 0.6.2 iso worked fine the first time. Was suprised to see
how the boot up process has been shortened. When I " knoppix restore=/dev/hdb2" at the boot prompt, after the short server/mouse/resolution
setup, my desktop comes right up, without a restart of the window manager.
I have my own opening_message.html for dillo, and that's what greets me.
That I put in /home/damnsmall/.xinitrc, and restore that along with wvdial (sadly left out since dsl 0.5.3.1) and Foxfire.

I'm not sure if I like the gtk (purple) interface.
The buttons on web pages look odd, and I would prefer that they look exactly like they would if viewed in Foxfire on Windows XP or Redhat 9, mainstream distros.
To demo this OS, DSL, to those users, everything must be the same, and they are not supposed to be able to tell what OS they are on. If that is true, one can demonstrate that this OS can produce the same results, Foxfire-wise as viewing a web page on XP, for instance. All that, without the need for a big expensive hard drive to contain the OS. I had an 80 GB maxtor fail, and my interest in live cd distros was part of the fallout, as I did not want to buy another.
Of course, 0.6.1could display web pages like XP.
The gtk change was made for 0.6.2 for reasons I do not fully understand, or were disclosed.
Perhaps for space or performance reasons, I would hope. DSL 0.6.2 is fast, so
maybe that change is part of the mix.
