FYI,

If you encounter a PC with little RAM and your customized DSL livecd will not work because the automatically booted extensions take up too much ram, try booting with this command:

dsl base

It should skip all of the myDSL extras for this boot only.

and for REALLY low RAM computers, type:

dsl xsetup noicons base

and choose Xvesa 800x600 16bit color

Hmm, the link really does not work. Where is the DSLMaker? It'd be a pity to loose it.

Softgun:  My name is Bryan.  Note the 'y'.  Seems a silly thing to be pickish about, but I am.  Sorry.  ^_^

UCI is short for Unifide Compressed ISO.  DSL handles these naitively, and if there's a choice between them and something else, use it.  

On that note: you do take a performance hit for using ucis.  dsls and .tar.gzs run from RAM.  This means they're farking fast.  .ucis are read directly from the CD in compressed-block chunks.  This means that while they occupy only a loop-info pointer in kernel memory, they also run slowly.  Think CD access+read+decompression.  On that note, it's not near slow enough to irritate anyone on a high-end machine, and low-end machines have little enough ram that they have little choice if they want to install OpenOffice or the Java runtime.
