The opera (Opera6.1.2) myDSL extension should work fine on a computer with 32MB of RAM.

However, my suggestion is to use the opera.uci extension because it will use less RAM.

Good Luck.

I can't think of 10, but my top gripes are:

1. Should boot to VGA=normal
2. Fix serial mouse, why need to link?
3. Try to move to a standard UI, too many styles, even in the custom scripts.
4. The website needs to be updated to more easily show what to download. Is embedded the new usb version? How to know that frugal is really for embedded systems (CF) ? The names are confusing.

If some of these are addressed maybe less Qs from the new visitors.

Still amazing work! And better with each release

Ok have to post this bug in hope that it will be fixed.

with the norwegian (and some other, like german) keyboard
layouts the @ key will not work in firefox nor opera.

You get @ by pressing Alt gr +2 in this layout and the
Alt gr key seems to be not working at all in Firefox / opera.
I used DSL to set up public p1 style boxes for mail and websurfing, but as i found out about this issue i cant continue doing this as people cant even login to or send mail.

its frustrating as i have not found any other distros that can fill up the space.
The ones based around DSL have the same problem(fether , luit) , morphix is no good with 64mb ram or less and puppy seems to have to have lacking hardware detection.
Deli is one to watch but at the moment it does not have an installer or any other browser than Dillo.

please fix this bug so i can turn Norway on to

Try this:

Turn on the NumLock for your keyboard
Press and hold down ALT key
Press and release the "6" key on numeric keypad
Press and release the "4" key on numeric keypad
Release the ALT key
