How do I install a system monitor on DSL?
I have seen DamnSmallLinux installations which have a system monitor in the top right corner of the screen.  However in my DSL-2024 installation it's not there. 
Thank you.

Hi, I couldn't find the following programs on DSL's apt:
Zoom
Cisco Webex
Citrix Workspace
I need them for work.
Is there any way for me to install them?
Thanks.

 Happy that the rc7 was made available & supports 32 bit as it has made my slow little netbook usable again 
      alho it has 512mb ram & 8gb ssd the netbook is running smooth with all the software i need installed ready to use,
      one of the main reasons i didn't want to dispose of this netbook is the size 8.9" screen perfect for shoving in bag

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!

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.

After trying out many other Linux distros I successfully installed DSL 2024 on my old clunker of a laptop (HP Pavilion with 1 GB RAM and AMD Athlon X2). WLAN and even audio is working out of the box. Some other distros didn't even start. Thanks!

Linuxes that didn't run at all: Slitaz 5.0, MX and Manjaro.
Linuxes that that launched but were problematic in some way or other: Debian (no WLAN), Slitaz 3 and 4 and Bunsenlabs.

PS: I just checked, the laptop came out in 2006 and originally it had Windows Vista on it. And it was a slow poke even back then if you ask me.

Is there a simple way to install PowerShell on DSL running on ProxMox on an intel processor ?

thanks for any guidance and support

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 !!

I would like to install & use dsl from a usb stick but i'm not sure how to setup persistance so that files are saved etc.

i have a 128gb usb stick that has the live image on & i can boot into that and use as normal but i'd like to be able to use it as a fully portable system without the need to install
to hard drive

I've been investigating lightweight programs that run well on limited resource systems for a long while now.  Was excited to see a new version of DSL and very curious to see which applications it would include.  I love some of the choices such as using AntiX as a starting point and including programs like nano and sylpheed.  Thought it might be fun to start a thread to discuss other lightweight applications that should work well on older computers.

Some of the programs I like are sdlbook and pdftxt for PDF viewing, diffh for graphically displaying differences from diff, abc2midi and abcm2ps for music creation, picaxo (lightweight graphics viewer using SDL), Netrider or Fifth (webkit based web browsers) and DPlus web browser (Dillo fork). sdcv (command line dictionary program, a fork removes glib dependency), ckpass (curses front end to view keepass information), grafx2 or lodepaint (graphics editors), fm (SDL based file manager), flrec/sox (audio player/recorder), nbsdgames (more games along the lines of bsdgames).  There are several others I enjoy building from source and working with too.

I've been trying to move away from heavier GUI toolkits such as GTK and Qt and switch to more lightweight alternatives like FLTK, SDL, Raylib and/or BSDCurses.  Would be curious to hear about other people's favorite lightweight programs.
