Or maybe this is a symptom of a bigger problem.

No. This is a fact that is well documented...
The full suite of 1394 modules has not been in the base iso since the 0.7.x series.
Only two core 1394 modules remain in the minirt. You have two choices:
1. Copy the full suite from a Koppix 3.4 5-17 cdrom, or open up minirt on the current DSL and copy the two core modules

I did copy ieee1394.o, ohci1394.o and sbp2.o from the minirt24.gz, but I still could not get the drive mounted. It seemed to have no effect. I did not try copying the full suite from knoppix.

As a side note, Feather Linux was able to mount the drive after installing, but it isn't setup for multi-user login, so I didn't use it either.

I ended up installing vanilla debian using the sarge netinst rc3 cd.

Thank you for your responces, I might go back and try DSL again later with the full knoppix modules.

Hi,

In a thinkpad 380Z laptop, default screen configuration loses one RGB color, the RED, and colors display are only results of green and blue combinations.

If i go to right menu xvesa and load again the 1024x760 it reloads fine with all colors, but for noobs there will be a bad thing.

Thanks,

cbagger01

Try booting with:

fb1024x768

at the boot prompt.

1) wordview can't open files having filenumes which contain spaces. Is it possible to fix this by setting ' ' around the relative filename in the script?

2) xpdf can't open pdf files I got from : www.denar.be

gzip: invalid option -- q
BusyBox v1.00-pre10 (2004.06.12-14:15+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: gzip [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Compress FILE(s) with maximum compression.
When FILE is '-' or unspecified, reads standard input. Implies -c.

Options:
-c Write output to standard output instead of FILE.gz
-d decompress

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I can open the pdf's with xpdf in debian testing.
I also have problems with other pdf's.
And some other open up fine. I don't know what the cause of the problem is, but someone more wise maybe will.

3) .ps filetype should be created in emelfm to open with gvu

4) .mp3 filetype in emelfm. Add option to open with 'rxvt -e mpg321' , my old computer has it hard with opening up xmms (because of the skin?). I know very small additions, but a well configured emelfm would be nice in final release.

5) Have you looked at emelfm-elm? A patched emelfm1 version which includes plugins for copy and move with progress bar. A very important change because when copying big files with the normal emelfm1, emelfm1 just turns blank and seems to be frozen.

6) .wav filetype in emelfm open with xmms

7) ancient dillo. Version 0.8.4 is probably the final 0.8 release of Dillo and is better then 0.7.3. It includes some features which make dillo much easier to use. With for example a search function.

8) MyDSL could use a progress bar to show the download/install process instead of a blanked (looking like it's frozen) window.

9) Could the bookmarks toolbar not be viewed by default? It takes up screenspace but doesn't view anything useful.

10) Ugly themes? I'd like fluxbox nyz theme and industrial gtk theme. Or only the industrial gtk theme. But that's just my personal taste ;)
---------------------------------

That's the "bad" stuff I noticed in DSL. But there's many more good points! ;) Keep it up!
