Thanks roberts, but it didn't work for me. It's okay though i'm going to go back to version 1.5 as i liked the old look and feel better. I also don't use that back/restore, i have 1 gig of ram so i just load into that and leave her on, no moving parts. In fact i was thinking of building one of those dead silent machines with only 1gig of ram. I want to just load it from a usb key toram and just leave her running. I'm still shopping around though, the ones in the dsl strore seem to be limited to 512ram for the fanless models(please let me know if i'm mistaken). One thing that pissed me off was i couldn't figure out how to burn a iso, i tried all the apps in dsl and couldn't get them to work,so i've got 5 copys of the dsl2.4rc2 iso on disk.lol. Finally i gave up and booted in xubuntu to burn the iso, all that precious uptime gone. That's why i'm building a comp just for dsl, I love to use it because it's so fast.

Ooop's sorry, i'm rambeling i've been up all night playing with that 2.4 and i'm just running on coffee and curiousity.

My bag roberts, i got the workspace switcher to dock. I was putting the " -w " in the wrong place, i was putting it on the end when it needed to be in the middle( fluxter -w &>/dev/null &). Yes, i decided to give 2.4rc2 another go after i booted 1.5 and found it didn't detect my usb, lucky i looked at the xinitrc and saw why it wasn't docking. I also grabed a copy of fizzure2 style to use. I will attach a pic later after i get everthing set up.thanks your work is much appreciated.

Hey, i think there's a bug in something called  " whiptail "(according to top) it keeps running my cpu full on, i've had to kill it to stop it then the whole desktop crashes. Any one else getting that?

There is a problem with DMIX. It will not change the channel to be controlled.

Looking at the code it is due to the changes that John has made in the way DMIX works. A variable (nl) is being used before it has been assigned any value.

[John, Robert - I have been working on DMIX also & have a version ready to go. I'll email it later. This version also does away with the 'click to the next channel' button, replacing it with a drop-down list. I find this a better solution when there are a large number of channels (many not used frequently) as the channel required can be selected directly. This saves the frustration of clicking once too many times & going past the required channel.]

about TCC and a tutorial for it (right place here?):

actually I think a tutorial (if considered usefull :) is best situated right with tcc itself.
I have the kind of person in mind that runs DSL just somewhere, possibly even without inet-connection (actually on most machines I ran DSL there was no hardware or connection for internetaccess).
So for those DSL+TCC+tutorial is a real stand alone solution for some fun, exercise.
For example the whole tutorial started when I was bored at home with some real low-end machine and nothing but my DSL-minicd (that I always carry around :) with me.
Admittedly the C/TCC-community even among DSL-users might be rather small, but on the other end, its less than 24KB we're talking about.
Personally I have the feeling that DSL is THE perfect place for some C-beginners...

I'd be glad to read comments.
Here's the tut again for those who are interessted to check:

TCC - Tutorial

Have fun,
Martin /enthusi
