Hi, ran DSL on several systems WAY back, fantastic.

Just came across this reboot via youtube Action Retro channel and thought I'd check it out since I have way too many old and older computers still around.

My question is, since this relies a lot on AntiX (yes?), what's the advantage of this vs. AntiX?   Is it mainly/only so it'll fit on a CD, vs. a DVD?

Thank you.

If I have saved configs and preferences and whatnot for classic DSL, will they work with DSL 2024?

Hi fellows,

I have installed ClamAV but I am getting an ERROR when I try to scan:
"LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir: No supported database files found in var/lib/clamav"

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Hi fellows,

Is it possible to have a screensaver other than a blank screen? 
I have a HD DSL installation.

Thanks

I am getting Zathura with a black screen, it does not load any file.

Hi,
I am trying to install DSL in a Dell Inspiron 2600 but during the booting process I got the message : "graphics initialization failed error setting up gfxboot"

I continued choosing live from the menu but after awhile the process never finished.
raphics initialization failed error 

After installing DSL2024 on to a USB key, whenever I launch terminal, or even manage packages, the screen goes black, there is some messages that disappear to fast to see, then them I am told I need to log in (And I can press F1 to change my session type).  Logging in starts the cycle over again.  No windows have opened, if I open terminal again, I get a black screen with writing that is disappears too fast to see, prompted to log in again, etc.

Trying to build a 32 bit image to gather hardware information on  some older machines.   Thinking of using DSL as the base, is there instructions somewhere on how to customize the live image?

Hi

 I try to find reference on how to make the project to boot, but as i only see 4 other post about the same topic and no solution.. i try again.
 For 2 pentium pc  and one with 4 core, it is not possible to boot via : netboot : as it result in no boot partition present.  As one of the pc cannot even boot on usb.  For the other one: is the final version or rc8 will have a proper boot partition ?

As you cannot write with etcher : as boot partition missing in order to burn to usb. And with Rufus, it do download 2 extra file, but end up as not being able to boot.
 Put both rc7 and rc6 version on the easy ventoy live os boot and : all 4 cannot boot.
So a last try to check this project that look quite good... 

Thanks in advance

I recently started using Damn Small Linux on an old laptop, and I’m blown away by how lightweight and efficient it is. The boot speed is incredible, and it runs smoothly on hardware I thought was obsolete.
One feature I particularly appreciate is the minimal desktop environment—it’s simple yet functional without any unnecessary Geometry Dash bloat. The pre-installed apps cover most basic needs, and the package manager makes it easy to add what I need.
That said, I have a couple of questions:

1. Are there any tips for optimizing DSL even further for a 512MB RAM setup?
   
2. What’s your go-to method for setting up wireless networking on DSL for older adapters?
