Now being in a possession of a pocket drive which is non-flash based, but actually drive based, I now have even more interest in DSL as a dsl based O/S which also stores states and user dirs on a more retreivable basis.

Last I tried DSL wasn't really much tailored to writing things as CF has a limited lifespan as far as writing etc.

How are those things being developed now? any change?

See the notes section (what you could call a changelog): http://damnsmalllinux.org/notes.html
I suppose the last time you tried DSL it was a very long time ago (pre-0.5?)

no, it was 3.2.  I'm aware of the backup.tgz it makes.

What I really wanted on my 6gb pocket drive would be to dedicate 128mb to the O/S and have the rest be my fs of choice to store my homedir, and other things.

Hi, thank you for your response.
persistant homedirs in the form of a backup.tgz isn't what I am looking for.

I want to primarily use it as a storage device but have  a small partition for linux. and be able to mount my homedir.

So I can use it on both windows machines and as a standalone linux machine.
