DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: downloadable extensions CD?

Hi,

First, I have to say that DSL is truly awesome, by far the best mini-CD distro I have ever seen. One of its most useful and well-designed feature is the DSL extensions.

In my case there is only a small problem: I can only afford dial-up. So getting as many extensions as I want is not easy. Could I suggest that you make a CD of extensions which users such as myself could order? All that would be needed then is to point the extensions application to the CD as a extension repository and install the extensions locally.

Also - admins asked to fix computers which are not connected to the internet, or have connection problems, would benefit from having such a CD with DSL extensions.

Does that make sense?

Kind regards,

VS

I used to offer both bootable CD's and DVD's loaded with extensions
for a donation to DSL. ( with DSL's blessing )

Due to low demand, I discontinued my website offering those.

But I still have several copies of each on-hand ( 1.5 version )

If interested, send me an email at ke4nt (at) yahoo , or PM me.

I'll give you an address to send a self-addressed/self-stamped envelope.
( sri, postage ate me up last time.. )

...and consider making a token donation to DSL for the freebie...

Great idea!

But would these extensions still work with DSL 2.0?

Do all the extensions fit on a CD or does the DVD have more stuff?

Thanks,

At this point it's possible that not all extensions will fit on a single CD, though i don't know for sure....my guess is the total filesize of all available extensions is now more than 700mb.
Most but not all extensions will work with DSL2.0. Anything that is built for a specific kernel (such as nvidia video driver) will need a version of DSL with that kernel.

ke4nt1: I sent you a PM.
