User Feedback :: Typos in DSL 1.2.1 +
In the frugal install script:
"totam" instead of "toram"
Somewhere in the startup script, when it can't find a valid filesystem to mount:
"press enter to coninue" instead of "press enter to continue"
In dillo getting started html:
"disconect" instead of "disconnect"
"mydsl-hda2" instead of "mydsl=hda2"
"substanailly" instead of "substantially"

In the DSL bootup options screen:
"Copy CD to HD parition and run" instead of "Copy CD to HD partition and run"
regards b1m1
I thought this was a typo but it seems more likely it is a code bug.
When I used the DSLpanel Xvesa app and change from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 and the use it again to change back I get and error in /home/dsl/.xserverrc line 1 >>> /dev/nulll: ie and extra "l" at the end of null. If i use xsetup.sh to perform the same task there is no problem. In fact I have to use xsetup to correct the .xserverrc line otherwise i can't startx up again.
I had a look at the code in xvesa.lua and couldn't see a text typo but following through the logic best i could, I thought maybe this was the problem:
xserverrc = strsub(line,1,j) .. " " .. mode .. " " .. strsub(line,k)
perhaps it should have a end-of-line character at the end
xserverrc = strsub(line,1,j) .. " " .. mode .. " " .. strsub(line,k) .. "/n"
so when it re-writes a line smaller than the previous line no garbage will be picked up at the end.

b1ackmai1er,
This is great. The more "eyeballs" the better. Thanks for sharing!
Another small thing - not a typo, but an issue I'd been meaning to bring up for some time that I think is still there in DSL 1.2.1:
When opening FireFox in 1024x768 resolution, the window isn't quite centered and the title bar (or whatever it's called in Fluxbox) is off the screen a little.
Not an issue for HD installs, but when using DSL live from CD or via a frugal install I'm finding myself reaching for the maximize button every time FireFox is launched after a new boot.
A small thing, I know, but I think so much of DSL that even cosmetic thing like this can get to me.
