Future roadmap would be DSL v5.0 to be a small core 2.6 kernel based system.

If that's where the road is leading, then 4.0 may as well use 2.4.31 so the existing module extensions can be used. It doesn't make much sense to put out a call for new 2.4.34 modules if DSL will abandon 2.4 in the (relatively) near future.

I have performed Frugal, Hard Drive, and LiveCD 'installs' and have never gotten Dillo to autostart.

Did you edit it out of your .xinitrc? It's definitely in mine -- I know it's on the CD and was on my desktop hard drive install til I edited it out (just did fresh install Saturday morning).

For me it doesn't make a big difference, if the kernel of 2.1b or if the kernel of 4.0 alpha is used - both are not working on my new computer.

Yesterday, I have tried Ubuntu for the first time, but I also do not like this, as well I do not like Puppy.
So I'm still hoping for a new supported kernel in DSL.

Till there is a DSL 5, this could take a year approximately or even longer?

With nearly no Linux programming knowledge, I unfortunately still do not know how complex it is to have one version with 2 different kernels.
Is it more complex than I think?
Or is it just a question of philosophy?

I wouldn't think it would take that long, but I'm not the developer. What was the time between 2.0 and 3.0 -- something like six months? Robert moves development along at a pretty brisk pace.

Complexity is in the eye of the beholder. Part of it is finding time to work on it (which I haven't had since we last discussed this), part of it is demand, etc. I don't know what Robert's thoughts are on having only one version (4) of DSL support two kernels if he's moving development of the next major version (5) to only one of them anyway. I know what my thoughts are and you probably don't want to hear them...
