actually, the idea of a DSL fan site really scares me .O_o
other than that , looks great.

EDITUS:
Q) My computer won't boot from the cdrom/usb!! Is there a boot floppy?
A) Yes, the boot floppy for the current series of DSL can be forund on any of the download mirrors in the "Current" directory. boot-X.X.X.img is for booting from a cd, and boot-usb.X.X.X.img is for booting from a usb pendrive device.
In linux, you can create a boot floppy by typing | Code Sample | | dd if=boot-X.X.X.img of=/dev/fd0 |
As far as windows, may I suggest John Newbigin's RawWrite for Windows. It's a lot easier to use than the original command-line based rawrite2.exe.
Q) Will DSL ever get bigger than 50mb?
A) NO! Now stop asking. John has said repeatedly that the 50mb ceiling will NEVER be broken. Sheesh.
Q) I did an HD install, and it runs slow, I have enough room for a swap partition, how do I make one?
A) Simple.
1. Open an root Xterm and type "cfdisk /dev/hdX" where "X" is the letter of your hard disk.
2. Select the free space and create a new primary partition. I recommend at least 32 mb, but if you have the room, 64 mb is better.
3. Next, select the "type" button and change the type to "82", which is Linux Swap.
4. Write the partition table to the disk, remember the partition name (I.E. hda1), and quit cfdisk.
5. Now type "mkswap /dev/hdXx" where "X" is the letter of the drive, and "x" is the number of the partition you just created.
6. Reboot.
7. Ta-da, you have a swap partition!

Thanks to ke4nt1 for kicking me about forgetting the mkswap part...

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
Unleash the power of the TILDE~~~
