Normally when you shut down properly, menu items are automatically removed. Since it didn't shut down properly, the icon was left in your home directory. I don't believe this is anything more than a superficial problem. Reinstalling the uci packages should be enough to clear up that issue.

I couldn't say for sure what the lib problem would be...seems you shouldn't need to link the Tcl libs into the main system. It might be that /opt/tcltk-8.4/bin is no long part of your PATH variable.

My symlinks are probably the ugliest type of kludge. Oh well, it's working. When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail ;)

Toms root boot should be able to run e2fsck from floppy ? My inclination is to skip the check and run the install as is until it goes fully pear shaped. At dsl3.1 I'm well behind anyway. Which leads to an OT question..........

Is there any reason the latest dsl wouldn't work on my machine ? Dell Latitude XPi, 133MHz, 40MB ram. floppy and network card. 3.1 runs very nicely on this machine.

edit/ To be clear, I haven't tried any releases newer than 3.1. Time to burn a cd for a look see.

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. One thing that might be a little heavier is the Bon Echo web browser. There are a few things about that browser that annoy me, so I copied the firefox 1.0.6 directory from DSL 3 into 4.4 and use that instead.

The default desktop in DSL 4 is quite a bit different, but it doesn't seem to be any heavier. If you tend to use a lot of the Lua and/or FLTK apps made specifically for DSL you might actually see a slight improvement in performance. The latest DSL uses a version of murgaLua that was built as a dynamic Lua library, so it doesn't need to load everything every time Lua is used.
