With the new system, I want to run those uncompressed. The UCI will morph into mountable application directories.

Sounds RISC-y to me.

I will get there somehow someway  :D

Hi!

Sounds very interesting. I hope fluxbox can be used with it to. I'm kind of attached to this wm since the blackbox days with slackware some years ago.

Have fun guys,
meo

I want to try to address many of the older computers that DSL has traditionally targeted. The most often reason cited, from those who know frugal yet still perform traditional hard drive installation, is the slowness from running from compressed read-only images. I now find myself experiencing such with the very large Firefox v2. [...]
How will the base livecd be structured?  Will it be compressed?  If so, would it be decompressed to a 'map' when a frugal installation occurs?

Just curious if these parts have been finalized yet.

I just thought about the sound aspect. I think DSL 5 should consider OSS 4, instead of ALSA.
While it's not in-kernel, it has many advantages:
- no external libs (saves space compared to all the libasound*)
- greater support, works on all unixes and has been around longer
- many claim it has better architecture, for example it has a software mixer while ALSA needs a hardware one to play many sounds at once
