Will it make any improvements or will it be the same if I modify dsl-install script  to accept input for partition type? The
default is ext2, and lets say that I will modify it to ext3 and install DSL on the ext3 partition.

kabayan,
there is no need to modify script or to reinstall dsl,just do 'tune2fs -j /dev/hdx' to convert ext2 to ext3.hdx is your dsl partition.

I have already tried that on 0.4.5 but at boot it forces mount hdx as ext2. :(
That is why I wanted to edit the install script.

You could try to edit /etc/fstab where there probably is an ext2 entry which you should change to ext3.
