Such modules should be extensions. There are too many cards to support, and this shouldn't be an eee-oriented (or any other single computer model) distro. I would take ndiswrapper out, too, and let users who need it get it from MyDSL. |
I whole heartily agree with Lucky13's statement. One reason I don't want to call this DSL v5.x is that it breaks with the DSL tradition of a complete desktop together with hundreds of modules.
Tiny core is really tiny and not very useful by itself. One should be able to easily download tiny core and a collection of desired extensions and/or modules. Only then will one have a useable system. Don't expect many modules, or fonts, or keymaps, or languages. Expect a tiny system to boot into X and run mydslBrowser. I expect tiny core to have a rather long alpha cycle before even a release candidate is ready. I will fight hard to keep tiny core a "just enough" system and everything else an extension.
