well, being part of the quoted discussion, it's right that choices where to be made by the user, not by extensions designer...
but the main idea : "to be able to sort extensions" was there, along with the required menu entries.
perhaps an integration of the extensions to the existing menu entries, once loaded, would be better. But as henk said in our precedent discussion, such a thing should be part of a future version design...

From this thread and the desktop thread, it appears to make DSL be built up to Knoppix. Why? kde.dsl? xfree.dsl?
I have seen gripes about myDSL as being why needed in the first place? Just get Knoppix.
Now, it appears more people want DSL built up like Knoppix. Why?
Do you just "collect" every extension? If so just get Knoppix.
I think DSL design is fine. Just use what you need. No need to change.

this distribution is called damnSMALLlinux it contains within its 50Mbyte allot of programs i will never use.
i dont like fluxbox. dillo and gLinks have not enough featurs, Ted and Scite are no real wordprocessors.
But i can download and "install" Icewm, Firefox, Jre2, Flashplugin, OpenOffice.
I can make it MYdsl.
So how many menuitems do i need? 10 .. 20? i dont even use the menu. all the programs i use (emelfm, aterm, sylpheed, firefox, OpenOffice) fit in the toolbar

if you have that much (all) extensions in your menu then you must be ke4nt (chief tester of new extensions) or you have the wrong liveCD distribution.
Go for knoppix.

I can't use Knoppix
Just for me DSL is much better.

I have a CD- and FDD- less Laptop, which can boot USB Memory stick. I do not need much more programs like Knoppix, just want to be up to date.

Yes I am MS contaminated since ever, but I am trying to change it.

I know that for personal use I can do whatever I want, but I am thinking at this moment about newbis like I am too.

If someone, is going to test or start playing with Linux, DSL is a very good choice. I will work even on toaster ;-) But, every new person coming from MS world, wants a bit of organisation at starting point.

Why if I am going to test something interesting to me I need to look for it in the long list of MyDSL programs?

Why similar programs has a different names?

If ke4nt is the person who is making final touch to every MyDSL file, this should be a question to him.
Is it very problematic to organise programs into groups?
Is it very illogical to have them in separate drawers?

PS. Currently I am playing arcanoid clone from something called LGames. This is what I am talking at this moment...
