we are planning that the three versions mentioned will each have a different collection of base apps. Still keeping size in mind. We have no size limit currently planned for the 2.6 kernel version other than ASAP (as small as practical). We plan on maintaining and expanding our unque DSL architecture. That being compressed type installs and easy installation of additional extensions. It is an ambitious plan but one we feel is best instead of trying to stretch 50MB to fit both ends of the spectrum.

Here's another possible issue....mydsl packages. If the different DSL types have different kernels, some packages will work in one and not in another.
I assume *most* packages will work in all DSLs, as long as the libs are the same (or at least compatable).

Just wanted to let you know that on dialup I will probably stay updated with the smallest version only....any mydsl packages i put together will probably be built for that version only.

We are not planning on abandoning the smaller version(s).
It will most likely remain those that will need special packaging of custom extensions.
I will look forward to your continued participation.

My first order of business is to get v2.2RC1 ready for public testing.

2.1 is working extremely well on my 233MMX laptop, but so did 1.5. Either way, I'll keep learning DSL until I become proficient on it. I hope that way I'll be able to contribute more to the community.

As applications and versions are starting to be tossed around, is there any chance netrik could be removed and links (or some decent variant) put back in?

While netrik may be smaller, from a functionality standpoint it's miled behind DSL's original text browser options.
