DSL would be even cooler if it has 2.4.26 like feather linux that remaster from knoppix 3.4. Since new kernel supports more hardware and security fixed.

I totally agree, I tried to compile my own kernel but there is no way I can install all packages needed (just because apt doesn't seem to want to install all packages).

So a new(er) kernel would be nice!

I'm sure that it would be nice.

However, since my guess is that DSL is not assembled via automatic scripts and instead is manually built up from knoppix version x.x it would be a major effort to rebuild it again for knoppix 3.4

With all of the development work going on around the DSL extensions, I would guess that there is not enough time in the day for a knoppix 3.4 remaster.

Lastly, I think we should give knoppix 3.4 a little more experience to allow for bugfixes before it is used as the foundation for the next version of DSL.  Knoppix 3.4 is fairly new and Klaus & Co. have already needed to do a couple of fixes in the last 30 days or so.  Especially in the area of scsi controller autodetection.

I agree cbagger01...
I am so pleased with the way DSL is working for me now...
Flexible, moldable, yet very stable ...
It already does what I want to do...

Ok forget about remaster from Knoppix 3.4. What do i need to apply after I upgrade 2.4.26 kernel manually?
