the full XFree86.dsl is allmost 10Mb, it contains:
XFree86, codeconverions, dri (direct render modules), drivers ( videocards), extensions, fontdrivers, intput drivers ( mouse, keyb, wacom, ...), openGL

if you use clivesay's tools you can: unpack the *.dsl, remove the drivers you dont need, and then repack the *.dsl. it is possible to get the size down to 5Mb

problem with this *.dsl: it is not click and play, you have to edit /home/dsl/.xserverrc and /etc/X11/XF86Config, once you get then right, add the to filetool.sh.
thats why a hasitate to send it to ke4nt

i have made a sdl.dsl and foobillard.dsl to test the XFree86.dsl on a DSL-0.9.0.1 livecd. it works.

to create a *.dsl i use clivesay's tools.
first a create a dummy tar.tz using emelfm. ( right click on the dir you want. Plugins-pack. Then right click on the dummy.tar.gz user-View .dsl Contents to create a dirlist.txt, edit the dirlist.txt (remove dirs and files that overwrite from the system), then right-click user-Repack .dsl. ready.

Make a nice info file with instructions on how to edit .xserverrc and XF86config and send that sucker in! I know that you can't get exactly the instructions that will allow every one to know just what to do, but some generic instructions should suffice. Most people can hit google to figure out the rest if they need to.

Now I just gotta make a nice package of the ATI 3D drivers...

...and I've got an NVidia driver somewhere around here
that was built from the knoppix 3.3 version that DSL is
designed around..

and another popular test .dsl would be the frozen-bubble,
which requires the libGL.so to work with your XServer.
