Under Virtualbox 7.0.14 after adding guest additions the mouse can not copy/paste.

However shared folders work. Hum?

After some tveaking it works pretty well as a Virtual Machine in VMWare on Windows 11. First I booted the default and made an install. That left me with a resolution of 800x600 which just becomes a little square on a 13” laptop screen with a resolution of 1920x1080. Found a mention of someone booting in ”Safe Mode” so I tried that. First it gave me a resolution of 1024x786. The live mode is kind of sluggish on my laptop. A Dell XPS 13” with 16 GB of RAM. I allocated 20 GB as disk space and 4 GB of ram making the installation that I have at present. I booted from ”Safe Mode”, updated everything and installed syslinux-utils. After installation it worked pretty well at 1280x786. The terminal, Web Browser and the Editor does not work from the menu now. The terminal did until I made the update. The system is a bit sluggish with a slight improvement after turning Conky off. Took some screen shots that I might share later. I’m typing this running DSL-2024-A that works OK so I’m pretty impressed since it is an alfa release.

Thanks for activating my account, John!

I installed DSL, then did apt update, apt upgrade. This caused Terminal to stop working. (Or at least there's nothing visible on the desktop; maybe it's doing something I can't see.)

After installation (and before upgrading), conky says I'm using 80 MB of RAM, but free says I'm using 202 MB (whch is still very little, of course).

DSL 2024 works reasonably well on my Aspire One 522, with a two-core AMD C-50 APU and 2 GB of RAM (upgraded from 1 GB, with 256 MB reserved for video).

my wifi (ralink rt3062 doesn't work i use antix 23 but i have to use the dvd iso sadly.

Web "Brawsers" is a typo (not in the main menu, but under "Term Apps").

I am still on the hunt for potential candidates for removal.  Please post if you have any suggestions.  Please keep in mind that the target of this project is to serve older hardware.

As the title says. I used

Starting from live-cd took almost 10mins.
Installation on hdd took app. 20mins. (40GB - probably 20+ years old).

Starting from hdd than took app. 3mins.

It is usable - but a bit slow.

Hi there,


I installed DSL on a SSD which I put in an about 15 yrs old Acer Aspire (2GB RAM).

Eveything is working, but the booting process needs more than 10 minutes. No error messages. 
Any suggestions what could go wrong or where I can get more information about this problem?

thx in advance
