hello!
I'm trying to make a remaster on DSL for it to fit on an 31MB KNOPPIX image. (so it can fit even my 32MB USB drive!)

I'm having problens to run x on chrooted DSL...

X runs, but not on DSL user (only on root)

Any trick to start X with the normal DSL enviroment?

oh, and by the way, do you know any apt-getable packet mananger that runs on DSL (dpkg is fine but i wanted to SEE the packet tree!)

Thanks everyone!

Synaptic package management tool runs fine and can be installed via the DSL fluxbox menu item.

However, if you are trying to build a 32MB edition my guess is that you will need console apps and not GUI tools.

There are console-based apt-get frontends that work in a similar fashion.  Ironically, one way to locate them is to install Synaptic and use it to search for alternative package managers.

Download the Opera myDSL extension.

It uses less memory than Firefox and is faster on old hardware.  For minimal RAM usage, grab the "uci" version of the extension.

extract the files from KNOPPIX
un-tar.gz xmms.dsl using your KNOPPIX extraction as its root.
remaster as normal.

THIS WILL NOT GET YOU THE ENTRY IN THE MYDSL MENU.  It will only get you the icon in X.
