Got a chance to play around with 1.4 tonight, and things are looking good. All of the improvements are welcome.

I did notice a couple things when I upgraded my USB pendrive.

It appears that the /CURRENT bootfloppy images (usb and regular) have not been updated with the new bootcodes for DSL 1.4 so the pendrive installs do not have the new bootcodes.

It appears that the isolinux.cfg bootcodes include a parameter called "nopam". Is this a typo and should be "noapm", or is there really a command called "nopam". If so, what exactly does pam do and is she a nice girl or a not so nice girl :laugh:

New floppy images have been posted with the new boot codes and options.

DSL is the same as other Linux distros in that it uses the Linux kernel, GNU utilities (or busybox equivalent), and standard *nix file structure.
It is quite different from many other distros in that it is typically run from a compressed filesystem, and makes use of mountable applications.

There are other similarities/differences, but these are the ones I find most important.
