One GOTCHA! for SATA users:

SATA hard drives are configured as emulated SCSI drives, just like "real" SCSI drives and also Firewire or USB drives.

This can be a problem with the expected device names for your thumbdrive.

If your thumbdrive usually comes up as device /dev/sda  (/mnt/sda1), then it will change over to /dev/sdb (/mnt/sdb1) if you boot up with a SATA-based PC that has one hard drive.

In this situation:

First SATA hard drive = /dev/sda (/mnt/sda1 ,etc)
USB pendrive = /dev/sdb (/mnt/sdb1)

so MAKE SURE TO CHECK FOR YOUR THUMBDRIVE DEVICE NAME before assuming that it is "sda" and then you accidentally to a USBZIP or USBHDD install to your REAL HARD DRIVE!

sorry to stick with K3b but I am stuck with a nonworking k3b. DCOPserver not found. Maybe a clue. My /home/dsl.kdeinit  folder  has two files with 0 data in them. From what I understand kdeinit initializes the kde functions of dcopserver and Ice authority. Help. Thanks   Marty  dcopserver is not running when I check in gps program monitor.

k3b is not part of DSL. It is a user contributed extension and therefore should be discussed in the proper MyDSL Extensions area. The developers of DSL do not take responsiblity of all the the user contributed extensions. User contributed extensions belong to and are supported by the DSL user community. Repeating your post  here about certain extensions will not change that. You may want to contact the contributor as listed in the info file.

Sorry,

If one would like to help, and test these newly builds, where would one have to look, to obtain such  an iso?
