i think you skipped the bottom of my post, tis the theory behind the rollback, albeit archaic.

Glad to hear that folks are working on it. its a shame its not more public, so those that arent 'Team DSL' can learn from the process.

I think I was posting at the same time as your edits..

It will probably all be open script, like everything else in DSL,
so everyone can learn from it at their leisure once developed and released.

First we build it,
then we test it,
then we release it,
because we aim to support it..

DSL has had a fabulous track record,
and earned a great reputation for solid releases
with it's closed development model.

For the majority of DSL users, that method works fine.

Everything developed and released is out in the open,
in script form, for review by everyone.
Much more open than MANY other distros who code in near secrecy?
(( either read the sources [I can't] , or stare at a c++ elf binary? ))

For the minority of users who wish it to be an open development, sri..

Suggestions and additions are welcomed, even encouraged.
There are proper channels already in place to receive them.
Many, many user contributions are used in DSL.

Do take note that DSL strives to be the best LIVE CD,
as it's number one mission and goal ..

So dsl package removal is pretty much a backburner idea? ...since hd install is 'not what its meant for'? and does this mean that user contributions towards that idea are frowned upon?

From what I understand, it's not even on the radar.

Overwriting internal DSL function scripts is not allowed in MyDSL extensions. Neither are script extensions. Extensions must be applications.

See the DSL Acceptable Extension Policy.

What's the importance of that? There seems to be so many live cds, all aimed at being good live cds. frozentech's list is a good example. But so few of these are aimed towards being a decent way to get a minimal linux install on an older machine...since DSL already has much of the needed components in place, (ie: debian compatible, many many premade reduced-size packages, hd-installer that _works_ and is easy, install size of less than 200mbs, etc etc etc.) why is it important to _not_ expand in that direction?
