Installing NetworkManager |

I installed NetworkManger on DSL according to these instructions:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/...-23-runit/
I worked fine, but the nm-applet appeared without the usual icons in the tray.
When started in a terminal, nm-applet complained:
Could not find the icon 'nm-device-wired'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
Although the package hicolor-icon-theme is present in DSL the nm-device icons are missing. After a reinstall of the package:
sudo apt install --reinstall hicolor-icon-theme
the icons show in the tray.

Exploring Damn Small Linux 2024 in Qemu |

Been trying out the new DSL in Qemu, it's generally working really nicely. I've been missing this kind of fully featured live CD environment for a while now, so it's neat to see DSL come back to fill that void. This post is currently being typed from within the Damn Small Linux 2024 environment.
I have had two issues on it thus far. First one is the lack of a Finnish keyboard layout option, but I presume it will not be that hard to create my own image with it included. Second is that BadWolf seems to crash sometimes, as noted by some other users here. It doesn't seem to be consistent -- I lost the first version of this post trying to check the AntiX minimum processor requirements, but after starting it from a terminal (so that I'd see what gets printed to stderr on crash, if anything) and trying to navigate to the same page it did not crash.
Since AntiX seems to support down to Pentium II, I'll try to test DSL also on my Thinkpad T23 at some point and report back.

Release Candidate 6 Now Available |

For this RC I focused a lot on bug fixes and refinements:
- Replaced gksu with a YAD sudo script
- Added DarkHTTPd (a lightweight web server)
- Added French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese support to Sylpheed
- Fixed several small bugs and formatting issues
- Restored Galternatives and Archive-extract programs
- Added a subroutine to bypass menu rebuilding at startup if the language is set to en_* (for faster boot time)
- Set up Firefox-esr so that it works using the Fluxbox & JWM window framing by default
- Modified "lowram" subroutines to work properly after HD install
I am having surgery tomorrow, so I may be less available for the next week or so.

Hi people. I have a laptop with 2 GB of RAM and 2 cores of RAM. The question is, which version is better to choose, if of course there are enough characteristics for the installations

Boot from USB? |

Hi. Do I still need to run Isohybrid on the dsl-2024.rc5.iso image to create a bootable USB? I'm on Linux Mint and have tried this following the instructions and using USB Image Writer and Etcher to write to USB. No luck so far in creating a bootable USB for my Asus VivoBook. Never had any problems booting other distros from USB with my laptop before.
Any links to a foolproof, USB bootable DSL image for new Linux users? Thanks.
I have also tested Antix on my VivoBook. Burned the current ISO to USB using USB Image Writer on Mint. The VivioBook booted from USB with no problems. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.
