Well im completly new to DSL I have installed it to my harddrive though. And I love it!. But I know this would make people much more well lazier. But what about a DSL Auto-Updater patching system? Webased to keep the DSL size down, Also A question I installed a second harddrive to my computer how Would I go about regoniizeing this on DSL? Also one more question is there a port for the web authoring system NVU for MyDSL? NVU is like dreamweaver but i think much better.

.. O yea also my sound doesnt work im running a type of creative sound card how would I go about getting it to work?. Thank you

DSL is a live-cd based distro.

To update your frugal install, just replace the /KNOPPIX/knoppix file with the new one from the ISO.

If you are talking about a hdinstall update system, there are currently no plans to implement such a thing, as DSL is intended to be run as a compressed filesystem.

NVU is in the MyDSL repository, or you can grab it with Apt.
