DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: wish list, 2.6

...ntfs-3g support.

I've been starting to look at that (and ntfsmount and bcm43xx) to see which 2.6.x kernel is required as a starting point

Edit: I managed to compile ntfsmount and ntfs-3g on dsln (2.6.12) using fuse-2.6.1 - by the looks of things, the earliest kernel for bcm43xx is 2.6.15, but the bcm43 people are saying >=2.6.22 and are inviting patches for 2.6.18-2.6.21. See here

@Roberts - any update on progress and latest thoughts on the 2.6 version of dsl?

To give an update on DSL:

I am waiting on John to make some decisions. But also to let everyone know that personally, I have had some bad news with regards to my vision. As many know I have muscular dystrophy (oculopharyngeal). I have been evaluated for possible surgery to try to improve my vision due to extreme ptosis. There are five type of surgery for this condition. Unfortanuately mine to too serve for any of these to be effective. This means further reduction in vision and therefore limited ability to work on DSL. I need John to once again be involved with DSL developement.

Currently, a decision needs to be made on whether to release a 4.2.6 with a few changes, or a 4.3 with gtk1 firefox v2.0 - still 2.4.31. FFv2 is not only much bigger but also requires much more resources while still, because gtk1, of only supporting flash 7. Which to release is my question to John.

John has agreed in principal for a 2.6 tiny core. But doing so, means we need to have an improved searching ability for the required addons (extensions). Therefore, my attempt to provide an SQL interface to the mydsl extensions.

But lately I have been spending more time with doctors than my keyboard.

Really sorry to hear the news about surgery options, Robert.

Also sorry to hear about that, as I'm sure everybody is.
