I built a custom ISO of 0.8.0 and 0.8.2 and neither will work on my laptop.  The 0.8.2 won't even work on my desktop PC.  I get an error from the ISOlinux screen : Image checksum error.  Is there an MD5 sum of the KNOPPIX compressed file that is being checked or of the entire ISO?  If it is of the entire ISO, that could prevent custom ISOs unless teh MD5 can be remade.  Then again, it could be that my download was fubarred.

Hello,

First of all I want to say THANK YOU! to those who provide and develop DSL, iit may be small but that's its very strength, it is simple enough to actually work.

I'm running DSL from the CD on a 900mh AMD with 352 megs ram, it has become my primary environment on this machine when I don't need the cdrom  or Windows.  I have 3 extra partitions, hda5 formatted fat to share with Windows and for backup/restore, downloads, docs, cross-dev files etc, an ext2 partition on hda6 to which I install linux apps or things that care about the linux filesys, and a swap partition on hda7.

Up to now I've managed to figure out how to make it work for me but after upgrading to 0.8.2 I ran into a little snag... java for Mozilla doesn't work, complaining it can't find libXtst.so.6 but the files are there (the link and ...so.6.1 file it points to). Mozilla itself works fine, going back to 0.8.1.1 restores java. Adding home/dsl/.java to filetool.lst makes no difference, nor does reinstalling java and creating a new symlink to the plugin. Mozilla was downloaded from mozilla.org, and java from www.sun.com, both the latest versions, installed without any problems.

I'd post this under apps except it is something that worked fine before 0.8.2.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Terry

Hello again,

Nevermind, nothing to do with 0.8.2 - induced the problem under 0.8.1.1 as well. I suspect I'll have to reistall Mozilla and possibly other apps after doing anything drastic to the boot CD to avoid broken links. Hazzard of static apps, DSL apps seem to avoid this problem by "installing" every time it boots. Learning...
