Items that been updated in v3.1, which may be overridden by your backup:

1. .fluxbox/menu
2. .xtdesktop/Aterm.lnk
3. .xtdesktop/Cpanel.lnk
4. .xtdesktop/MyDSLgui.lnk
5. .jwmrc

Be sure to compare and copy from /etc/skel to enjoy all the new features.

Is there a better way to remove just these items from a backup?

What I did was a new install without the backup and then untarred my existing backup on a separate hard drive partition. I then deleted the files from the backup and copied new replacements from the ramdrive.

The file .xfiletool.lst contains files to exclude from your backup.

If you use that method be sure to remove them after your upgrade.

Why don't you boot with your new install and your old backup and then copy the 5 files from /etc/skel to /home/dsl (If you want to see the changes without rebooting, just restart jwm or fluxbox) ?

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

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

legalize cannabis, etc.
