Well I appreciate your appreciation TOSHIBA. Actually I was hoping for more feedback on that uci.

Re 2: Are you using grub? I thought all you had to do to load extensions with a hd install was add mydsl=hda3 to your grub boot line, assuming someuci.uci in on /mnt/hda3 for eg.

Or you could add

mydsl-load /mnt/hda3/someuci.uci

to /opt/bootlocal.sh

You maybe could permanently write the contents of a uci to your hd by eg copying all its files from /opt/someuci to another dir as root, then
umount the uci, mkdir /opt/someuci, copy all the files back there, do cd /; tar -zxvf /opt/someuci/user.tar.gz, restart X, and the uci is permanently installed. But it will get messy if you again mount the uci and then dismount it again. Not recommended.

Grrrrrrrrrreat!
Now we are talking!

Gnutella network is great for some p2p downloads. Using Gnutella and BT I can find almost any file I want. Frostwire is promising. I once ran it from command line (something like: java -jar frotwire.jar). But I couldn't connect. ;\
But as we are using DSL and first 'priority' is to have everything lightweight, java does not fufill that. At the other hand sometimes there's just no choice but to use more 'heavy' programs. LimeWire worked quite fine with my Compaq armada E500 with 256MB ram (until search results filled with ads).
What I would like is to have Gnutella client that is text based (using ncurses). Look the interface of CenterICQ. It's neat. Gnutella client which looks like that would be it for DSL.

I've been trying to search simple text based Gnutella client for ages, but with no results. If any of you know any good ones, please post it here. =)

One project is in development: http://noogtella.sourceforge.net

Try the uci & click on the icon.

The lightest possible gnutella client (and server) is the commandline gnut

No java,. nothing.

Code Sample

apt-get install gnut

See http://www.schnarff.com/gnutell....-3.html

for instructions.

Doesn't appear to work on my connection - maybe need the right server lists.
Otherwise should be very good for old machines.

Jusr click on the icon if you're trying the uci

It was long ago. There were no DSL extension available at that time so I had to download it from offical page and run it like that.
