in defence of the option..I created three partitions, boot,store,swap,,stuck the cd in the drive typed dsl vga=normal and when dsl loaded I clicked install to hd..hda1,ext2,n yes to grub and rebooted with passwords..downloaded several extensions via firefox to /home/dsl and clicked them and then mydsl one after the other..opened to have a look and then customized the desktop and rebooted..insane..and everything was auto detected and auto saved..I do not have the flexibility of the frugal in update and uncertain install..but I tested all the extensions in a test install first..for a newbie this is fast track to success..with 48 meg ram swap is essential..none the less the effort to understand and achieve a frugal install is worth every effort.. with those mini iso extensions it is brilliant creativity..I hope someone organizes a better install guide..I am looking for a another unit for this purpose..the dx2 was interesting, the p166 rocks, the frugal will likely be excellent, and I just read a thread about dsl as a server and seen the results..mind blowing..however dsl installs remains a matter of personal choice...: ):blues:
