Any advice on how to install dsl.2024.rc7.lz4.iso on GNOME Boxes?
When statring Boxes it says OS is not found, but I used Debian testing.
DSL started - but occupied small square of the screen.
Then when installing it (with the password demo) nothing happens.
So, any advice is appreciated

Hello, and congratulation for this wonderful new version of DSL!
I have just a little request: antiX and its derivatives like this one are (to the best of my knowledge) the only distros who still work on non PAE systems.
I have two netbooks running on an AMD Geode LX-800 CPU, the sam CPU on which the famous OLPC was based on.
I think that it would be really great if they worked "out of the box".
The problem is that the Geode driver in the repositories is an old version which doesn't work with 5.x or 6.x kernels, but just with 4.x kernels, and booting on such machines is incredibly hard, since also a cli boot is really hard to obtain.
Everything is duly explained here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driv...deo-geode/
but basically, for everything to work properly, some particular grub options are needed, as well as the latest 2.18.1 driver.
Do you think it's possible to integrate this in the ISO? I see that in the past xserver-xorg-video-intel was included to support native resolution on some EEE PCs and other machines, and I believe that giving a new life to hardware such as OLPC XO-1 and similar low-budget PCs would be really important.
Thank you in advance!

DSL is back? Question |

Hey DSL community, I've recently looked at the DSL page @ Distrowatch.org I like to go on there once in awhile to see what is new since i love to tinker. I've used DSL before the first versions back in 2010 or so I believe and i think DSL stopped uploading updates in 2008 I believe correct me if I'm wrong. So the project was already abandoned when i tried it but I didn't think it was bad so when i seen you guys are bringing the project back i instantly want to give it a go but I have a question before I try and boot, does DSL support safe boot out of the box? or am I going to have to configure it? I want to install it on a old laptop I have its one of my tinker laptops but I'd love to tinker around with it break it/fix it repeat. Maybe I'll come across some bugs that need to be fixed if so ill come back and let you fellas know.

Downloaded as soon as a member of the Puppy Linux forum informed us via post that the project was back in full swing.
I have it running nicely using a QEMU virtual machine hosted by F96-CE_4 (upgraded Puppy Linux Fossapup64).
Download size was 666 M........must be fate.......
Next test run on a bare metal WinXP era Dell Optiplex tower. Single core CPU 2 G RAM circa 2002-2004 build year.
Good Show !!
