I mentioned these in my User Feedback to 0.7.3, but thought they were more appropriate to be placed here.

I'm wondering if in the theme menu, you could add "(Default)" after the default theme? Or possibly move it to the top of the list. After testing the themes it was a pain to get back to the original theme. I kept thinking that it was "simple", but that wasn't it.

In the mydsl menu (I have DSL files on disk) the list is not alphabetized. Not a big problem, but some items are hard to pick out when it is not sorted.

In the browsers: you might want to add some nice default bookmarks. All you currently have is LinuxQuestions.org. Maybe we could vote on some suggested links to include in the forum. I would include stuff like debian.org, damnsmalllinux.org, debian newbie, rute users tutorial, slashdot.org, newsforge.com, ugu.com, linux command line reference, an online man repository since man has been stripped out, linux.com and others.

hummm
I agree with the idea of putting in more default links in the browser(s)
they must be all non profit and open source oriented web pages, thought, IMHO.
the suggested one are ok, I suppose, but damnsmalllinux.org, which I seem to remember is the default if you click on the home button. If so, it's already there, isn't it?

I'm using SuSE on my workstation, and it has built-in detection of some winmodems, so it's possible. I'm thinking it's part of Yast, though...might not be so easy to implement into a liveCD.
It would be nice...I haven't gotten online yet with DSL.
