I would like to start a modules download section.
So, please email modules with md5 checksum and an info file so users know what the modules does and how to confgure, etc.
Send to extensions@damnsmalllinux.org

Also, note, you should be able to store your modules in the mydsl/modules directory and they will be automatically insmod at boot time.

It might be good to include drivers that are not strictly modules but required for DSL - eg:

1. Synaptics touchpad driver for XFree86
2. 855wrap & 855patch for Intel 855 graphics

Do you think there would be an interest for these?

Sure, sounds good. I will call it modules and drivers. Just be sure to make the info file as that a user knows what it is and how to use it.

Also, please let me know in the email that this is for the modules/drivers section.

With the community helping we can get these other devices supported in DSL.

Okay, I emailed you both drivers.

Putting the driver in my lib/modules directory does seem to autoload it (I use a traditional hd-install).

A question for the other poster, is there an easy way to install the synaptics touchpad driver?

Thank you all for your help!
