Can u please explain better this change?:
*  dpkg-restore & gnu-utils made consistent with other extensions to use /opt/.mydsl_dir.

In 3.01 dpkg-restore & gnu-utils were downloaded in /home/dsl whatever your mydsl directory was. Because of that, when rebooting with the mydsl cheatcode, they weren't loaded at boot time. Looks like this "feature" isn't in 3.1 :D

Btw, do you plan to release an extension for amsn 0.96 jls?

This is a fantastic release, really impressed with the look (so much better than the purple one!) and the ease and speed of a hard drive install.

I needed to create a couple of internet machines quickly, and DSL was my first choice.  Super quick!

I think it's better to autoscan the dos swap file instead of needing to add dosswapfile boot option.

legalize cannabis, etc.

The gnu-utils and dpkg-restore were dowloading to /home/dsl/
That goes against my position of not having a large static extensions in /home/dsl because they would typically be in the backup and that only wastes time to write everytime. I made those two "extensions" download into whatever is in /opt/mydsl_dir just like any other extension.

On the dosswapfile, I would think that it would be the exception rather than the norm for someone to use such. Therefore, why make everyone suffer the slowdown caused by a needless autoscan when likely a dosswapfile would not be found. I try to be sensitive about boot times.

I just upgraded from 3.0.1 to 3.1 and the first thing I noticed was that I got a bunch of errors at the end of the boot sequence...

I finally managed to boot using the "legacy" boot option - what I don't understand is why, when I didn't change anything from my 3.0.1 USB boot, this should be necessary?

Anyway, once booted things looked good - the USB automount is very welcome but what happened to the "add to filetool" button and the user/open in leafpad options in emelFM?
