Monkey web server doesn't shut down with the menu item or the control panel.  If you run the stop script in a bash window you see:

Monkey is not running.

When in fact it is.  Check that with ps -ax monkey.  So you think the monkey isn't runnig when in fact it is.  /tmp/monkey.pid does contain the correct process id of the running monkey, but monkey stop doesn't know monkey is running.  I don't know what's going on here.

/etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.cache are links to the CD when you're running a live CD.  Sometimes, dpkg and apt-get try to write this file when installing packages.  I'm sure that Knoppix left these as links because they don't allow apt-get from the live CD, but since we do, could we make these files writable?  I know it takes away a little memory.

In my opinion, a copy-over of these files should be done, either in mkwritable or in the Enable Apt / dsl-dpkg / Get Synaptic scripts.

A small change in memory usage is a lesser evil than a broken apt-get system.

It is not a good idea to use apt-get with RAM limited computers when running from livecd anyways so it really doesn't change the big picture all that much.

Seems that SIAG (spreadsheet) has been not only broken as far as plotting graphs goes, but it's getting worse on newer DSL releases. On 0.9.3 release of DSL, the graph simply was not drawn. On the RC1 release the button is missing due to button icons not being loaded into /usr/local/share/Mowitz/pixmaps/

I have an old laptop from school currently running Win98 and MS-Office very well despite being only 40Mb RAM. Because I'm the Linux advocate in our school (teacher) I'm willing to uninstall this and replace with DSL, but only if I can get the base office apps fully working. Can someone confirm if it's going to be no problem to get SIAG working (complete with charts) or whether it will be a nightmare?

I have only seen one similar post to this question, although I cannot get the charts to work from running as live CD. http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=4999

One last question: if I do go ahead with a hard drive install would if be better to use 0.9.3 release or 1.0rc1? (is rc1 an alpha/beta stage?)
