great, great, great!!

I am testing the mydslPanel.lua right now, and it works great also with jwm!

Unionfs seems to work, but I don't understand what is the function of the /unionfs_goose in my /mnt.

I also want to understand the following: when I load Opera.unc, Opera is then in myDSL in the menu; I can make it run, it runs well; when I close Opera, I understand that it would be the same "as if" I had unmounted Opera, with the difference that Opera is always present in my myDSL; is that right?

I have no success with abiword.unc when I tried to run it from myDSL; mydslPanl load it just right, but in order to run abiword, I have to type abiword in a shell.

I also agree with JB4x4: it would be just great to have a kinf of howto (in the wiki?) in order to know how to construct .unc extensions from .dsl extensions; this .unc extension, I have to say, is incredible in speed, gives applications a nice layout, and remains on a very useful principe.

Finally a suggestion: would it be possible to create a repository in the download section in order for the community to place their *.uncs over there?

Very great job Robert & John, congratulations again!

just an edit to my previous post:

I agree with JB4x4 that it would be great to harmonize/couple UCI Mount Tool and the new mydsl loader since the mydsl loader can mount uci (and dsl extensions as well) and look pretty nice. It is maybe also a possibility to save room.

I enjoy 3.0RC2 a lot!!

... and a last one: at shutdown, my machine shuts down right, but the cd won't be ejected as it should; when I take another live cd, the cd is correctly ejected at shutdown

Kerry, I just tried fluxbox_0.9.14.uci and conky.uci both worked without problems.
Perhaps you can tell me more on how your system is setup.

JB4X4, Currently, I am disabling the "unloading" of the unc extensions.
The reason is that other programs or processes could be using some of the overlay. Unc extensions are not limited to be "self contained" like the uci. It is quite easy to safely remove uci as no other process could be using it. Therefore no current plans to merge these two tools. I will look to improve the unc loader per your suggestion. JB4X4 mail me your unc's and I will place them in the release candidate area for now.

ZoOp, The "goose" provides a mechanism to flush unionfs cache, this was discovered during the RC1 testing, Clacker's "goose" did the trick.

Repository will be ready concurrently with final release of 3.0. There has been so much work coding-testing cycle that it is not ready yet. Perhaps it makes sense to have both UCI and UNC together.

I posted a sample howto for unc in the RC1 thread. Let me know if more is needed. It is really simple compared to making a uci.
