Hey roberts, when i run DSL i run it using " dsl toram xsetup ". When i first start testing i just boot the cd with out any of my saved .dsl's. The .dsl's work fine, it's only the .unc's and .uci's that won't work for me with unionfs. I always get that i need to mount manually message no matter what .unc or .uci i try, i tried going straight down the list to see if any of them would work, no luck. But once i try to load a .unc or a .uci, it's all screwed from then on, the /tmp folder get's locked up. I tried unmounting the /tmp folder to free it up and it say's it is busy and there may be to many mounted files. I had to cut testing short yesterday, but i'll try and test some more today. i plan on taking more pic's so you can actually see it. There's nothing speacial about my computer i built it using parts that are known to work with linux. I unplug all my drives except for swap when i run DSL. It's not a big deal it sounds like it works for others, i'll just run mine in legacy with out unionfs like i did with rc1c. I have no problems running DSL the normal way without unionfs. I haven't tried the legacy code yet.

Cpu amd xp 1643mhz
Ram 1gig

Ah might be the toram. uci and unc never autoload when using toram.
unc and unionfs as implmented is designed for lowram machines.
But I know that I have not tried toram and unionfs. I am not rich in ram!

I'll try later with the real thing but i'm pretty sure i'll get the same message. I'm doing some office work for mom right now so it's going to have to wait.

also once i try a .uci and it fails i can no longer shutdown or reboot or switch to jwm from the right click menu. i usally have to press the restart button on my computer to get out of DSL again. which is why i'm testing in qemu now it's less strain for my comp.

Hi there!

I use DSL from a pendrive and both uci's and unc's load as they should. They autoload from the root of the pendrive. Just one thing that doesn't work as in 2.4 is that seamonkey doesn't show up under the Mydsl menu. It 's no big deal since I can always use the icon to start it. The 2.4 version I run from another pendrive and usually use the noicons boot-code. Thanks for an excellent work!

Have fun,
meo

Just booted with toram and then loaded xchat.uci, abiword.unc, and opera852.unc all without any issues. So it is not the toram option.
