The "core" should always remain smaller than 50Megs per Johns designation...however, the addon MyDSL modules which will allow you to customise what you want (webserver, fileserver, mailserver, ircserver, ***insert server request here***) should be able to be -plug n play/configureable- such as the Apache.dsl will have all the requirements for apache, and have built into it a way to either have one of those WEBGUI configurator or the ncurses or whatnot, then have the ability to create a config file (with mount commands, partition information (for files on the harddrive), settings)that can then either be burned to a cd along with the "core" release, or placed inside a small config partition before the main data partition...thus the DSL-server can be completely run from CD
or, the "core" dsl is cd bootable, it boots, sees the conf file in the 100meg /config parition and then rips along...kind of like doing a restore /dev/hda1 at boot..but its automatic
This way its much easier to update the MyDSL packages if needed, alter the config files and reduce the number of CD's you have to burn.
I guess this way the DSL cd doesnt change much from its original form, it just looks for a "DSL-server.sh" file on /dev/hda1 if it sees it then it starts itself in the server mode and runs the MyDSL apps from the /dev/hda1 partition.
Did I confuse you guys?
