I know most people would probably argue with me on this but i use msn messenger above all the other messengers i use, it would be usefull if there were to be a msn messenger client on the DSL distro,

Assuming that there is no decent MSN application that can fit on the CD, this sounds like a good candidate for an install script.

Any takers?

Two places:

Try installing an MSN client using apt get or Synaptic package tool.

Try writing an install script to download and install a *.tar.gz or *.tgz binary tarball as found in Slackware or other Slackware-based Linux distributions like Vector Linux.

Good Luck.

Actually, I think gtmess would be very suitable for DSL - small, and no annoying dependencies.
Still, a script to download Tcl/Tk and aMSN would be nice, maybe I'll write one.
