Hi meo,
I do not regret that you brought up this issue, and I was not meaning that you have wasted my time.  I am very interested in hearing of issues that an extension of mine might cause with either the base system or other extensions.  After reading through your remastering thread, I do not think you would be leaving this issue in more capable hands if you decide not to further pursue it.  You have been using and remastering DSL since before I even started using Linux.
I do not want anyone to hesitate to report on a problem.  Following the steps to eliminate variables and providing as much relevent info as possible just makes the process smoother.  
I see that this issue is solved in the user feedback section.  I do not want to be overly critical, but you should have posted that in this thread.  It helps to confine an issue to one thread.  :)
Thanks and I think I might try my hand at a remaster tonight or tomorrow, following your examples and instructions of course.

Dear Jason,

I know that I should have posted my findings in this thread but what do you think would have happened then (considering the post before yours)? It makes you wonder doesn't it? Especially if you take into consideration the contents of the thread I started in the apps section concerning K3B. It felt kind of like having a pitbull terrier on my rear end (note that i wrote "felt", I'm not assuming anything in this matter but I think I owe you an explanation of why I took this decision) all the time. As soon as I posted something in this thread it was followed by something that seemed (note that I use the word "seemed" because I don't want any more misunderstandings now) aimed to harm me. I never really got harmed, (I've experienced many things that are a lot worse on the three continents I have lived and worked. In fact it's almost a miracle that I'm still alive because I've faced death quite a few times.) but I don't like situations like that. In my opinion it should be joyful to try to help eachother in this forum. To me tweaking with DSL is fun and that is what I what I want others to feel also. That's why I always end my posts in the way I do. But then participating in solving this issue wasn't fun anymore. It was as fun as running away from a pitbull terrier that wants to harm you. So I withdrew from this issue and posted my findings elsewhere. I hope and think you understand my decision Jason because that's the reason why I posted this in this thread.

As always have fun with DSL and keep up your good work Jason,
Truly Yours meo

PS I'm posting this from a re-remaster of DSL 4.3 DS

meo,
I am sorry this thread has been an unpleasant experience for you.  I won't lecture you anymore either.  As far as I am concerned your posts are welcome anywhere anytime.  

Right now my thoughts have turned to my DSL 4.2.3 remaster.  I am unpacking my extensions (.dsl, .uci, .tar.gz) to the KNOPPIX file as to not have to load them.  Having to symlink the stuff that gets installed into /opt to a different place in the KNOPPIX file as to not eat up RAM.  

Your remastering thread is a gold mine of information.  Remastering DSL is an easy to follow process, thanks to the master of the remaster. :-)
Take it easy and keep up the good work.

I'm adopting that quote as my signature. That's the funniest **** anyone's ever written about me.

Since you're still whining about it, how did my trying to find out if there are any new/desired features in k3b harm you? And how the bleep do you make me out to be such a bad guy when I was trying to see if I could help you?

That last part is why you won't get any more help from me. Ingrate.

The gtk+-2.12.9.uci setup and deconfigure scripts as they are now do not work with the update to dialog that is in DSL 4.4.2.  I wasn't considering dialog being used at that time.  I have fixed them to be compatible with both whiptail/dialog, and will submit in the next day or so.  Along with some update to the info file.
And man, that new default dialog theme looks cool.
