- Added a significantly improved Bash USB installer that supports data persistence and conserves space on the USB drive (no more DD method!).
- Included xserver-xorg-video-intel to support native resolution on some EEE PCs and other machines.
- Created a custom JWM theme color that matches the default in Fluxbox.
- Fixed a terminal launch bug in zzzFM.
- Implemented a text mode option at boot to correct a known bug inherited from runit/antiX.
- Enhanced the Slimski login with dialog to improve user-friendliness.
User feedback is highly valued!

Hi all; I'm writing from Italy and I'm trying to run DSL2024 in a QEMU box under Linux. I would like to boot in text-only mode, but if I search the ney I can find old tutorials, referring to the old DSL. In muy configuration I have a root user and a normal user; I would like to start in terminal mode choosing what user needs to be activated, as normally in other distros.
Please, can you help me showing which conf files I have to modify?
Thano you all,

Fatal Error on install |

Tried installing DSL2024 March version from a CD on a Toshiba Satellite L305 with 2GB RAM and 2GHz CPU. Failed twice with the same Fatal Error below. Same DSL2024 CD installed fine on an old HP7955 desktop so I think the CD is fine. Same laptop HDD already has Zorin 16, Zorin 15 and Windows 10 working fine.
"Fatal Error
Could not find file antiX/linuxfs
Searched devices: /dev/sdb /dev/sr0
Searched types: usb, cd
Please contact Bitjam at DSL forums"
Any ideas on how to get around this other than wiping the HDD and trying again?
Thanks in advance!

Installation Feedback... btrfs |

Spent some time doing various installs, long story short, trying to use btrfs and encryption (manual partition) does not appear to work, system hangs on boot and I suspect it's looking for a decrypt key, but can't find one, and is not prompting for it. For now, installed it to a usb drive ext4 encrypted, and will continue to test.

I removed BadWolf and installed Firefox-esr and Netsurf. Badwolf is fantastic, but it may be too minimal for a general-purpose distribution like DSL. Firefox can be pretty RAM-intensive, so I also included the thrifty GTK version of Netsurf. I switched the default GTK theme over to the dark BlackBird, which works with both GTK2 and GTK3 applications. I updated 115 packages to come in line with the current release of antiX and fixed a few bugs.
