yylarry: Whatever the specific cause, the 2.4.31 kernel shouldn't be there. Apparently your boot files did not get replaced. Personally I'd copy linux24 and minirt24.gz from the liveCD to the pendrive.

jls legalize: uci and unc are read-only applications, no matter what boot options you use. Try installing the plugin to /home/dsl/.opera. I don't know if this is the answer, but i think it's a good guess =o)

mikshaw -

Did it... I get exactly the same results... The screen info on
boot even says (once again) "Running Linux 2.4.31..." and I stll
get the same complaints about 2.4.31 dependencies missing!!

Is there a "right" place to get DSL3.0RC2?? and the rest are
wrong??? The .iso I have from (ibiblio??) is definitely stuck on
the 2.4.31 business!!!

Other than this - I get a good boot (fb800x600 on this old
laptop!)

My thanks,

larry

yylarry, it sounds like you must have a 2.4.31 KNOPPIX image on your hard drive. Watch closely when booting from pendrive and see what device the is "image found" on. Is it the pendrive? Sometimes it can be confusing when multiple KNOPPIX images are on several devices.

Indeed... Thanks people... I do in fact have a "zipslack" load on
the hard drive of this machine.. Betting it's 2.4.31 (it's the current
version of slack (10.2)... Now all I have to do is figure out which
boot file I need to hide from DSL on boot!!

Thanks folks.. Getting closer and closer.. ;-]

Okay... Found some additional information.. The load of "linux24"
and "minirt24" are done from the *floppy* I use to boot into DSL on
this old laptop! I made this DSL USB boot floppy this January,
(1/5/06) for what I think was DSL 2.1??

Now all I have to do is rebuild this boot floppy.

Thanks once again.
