Okay, I have (finally) tried DSL 4. I booted embedded.
Have to say the new look is great :D

Even the wallpaper, that remotely says vista, is enough un-vistaish to look awesome. The change to JWM was good. Only thing I didn't like was the new default theme for fluxbox, I prefer the dark flux theme from 3.x instead of the bluish one (that also consumes more screen space; I normally wouldn't have noticed, but I've gotten used to the previous theme)

Here's a patch for kbdconfig; it didn't show all keymaps

Do you modprobe ndiswrapper and pump -i wlan0?

with my wireless problem :

- @ kuky, if it helps, here are the steps I took to get ndiswrapper working on my machine with dsl-4.2.4. This is using a router that broadcasts the essid and uses wep:
Code Sample
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i /mnt/sda1/drivers/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5a.inf
Installing bcmwl5a
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2
Forcing parameter IBSSGMode|0 to IBSSGMode|2

$ ndiswrapper -l                                          
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5a         driver installed, hardware present

$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
$ lsmod
