Ping stupid_idiot:

Not sure there's much point in posting all the codecs in your uci.
I read a post where one of the mplayer developers said that users would only ever need those in the essential codecs tarball - the others are apparently not of any use ordinarily?

Oh well, seeing how it's a uci it does no harm, other than being a bigger download.

I've edited the xorg72.tar.gz extension. There were nearly 200mb in debug symbols!
I also removed other not necessary things. Result: filesize drop from 175mb to 27mb.

It's available here along with info and md5.

For future info - what are dubug symbols/where were they hiding?

Some "perhaps necessary" things I'd like to put back are the libs for xorgconfig to work, but reduction 175MB to 27MB - excellent...

I have just posted the first extension for the new initrd version of DSL.
This extension is a slightly re-worked version of the Mattias Schlenker scripts.

It contains both a DHCP and a TFTP server.

It turns a booted DSL initrd version into a PXE server.

Can be run from runlevel 2 for a purely sever like environment.

my guess is stupid_idiot probably has discovered the same workaround I did (I compiled statically linked), or perhaps a better one.

If the libpng version in DSL is as I think, libpng2 version 1.0.12, I have the header installed somewhere in my piles of mydsl work files, and have used it successfully with several mydsl packages. I have always had difficulty understanding how lib versioning works, though, so I'm not sure this is correct.

Another workaround when building with libpng and gcc1-with-libs is to export your CFLAGS variable to include the directory with png.h before compiling so the proper libpng header can be found before the one in gcc1-with-libs. I couldn't say if this is a universal fix, but it should work for any C program that uses the configure/make method.
