DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: CD-RW UDF packet writing in DSL

Is it possible to get this ability to DSL?
This was possible some time ago, as shown in this howto written in 2002

I see there aren't a huge number of responses here. I've got some interest in this too. I'm intending to replace Vector3.2 with DSL-installed on a dual-boot 64MB P166MMX system, which is used for news, email, surfing, and CDR/CDRW writing. Thank goodness there's still a few surviving distros that will run Firefox in that little RAM. Most distros that started small have outgrown my britches by now.

I had a look at the LFS article. There aren't packet-writing patches for 2.4.26, but there are for 2.4.23.and 2.4.27. Based on READMEs in kernelsource.dsl, the kernel is vanilla (helpful when struggling to refit patches).
It would be a long slog to get it working at my own mediocre level of expertise and underwhelming hardware. But I might take a whack at it once 1.0 goes gold, after I figure out how to slide it onto the partition presently occupied by Vector, without upsetting the Win98 partitions or LILO.

Hmmm. Four months later, and nobody's added onto this thread.

Just for the record, I have indeed upgraded that system from Vector 3.2 to DSL 1.3 frugal. And I still want to accumulate files onto CDRWs.

Fugeddaboudit.

After spending some time googling various kernel archives, it looks like there were unfixable problems in 2.4 that makes packet writing unworkable.

If we ever get a 2.6 based DSL that can run in 64MB RAM I'll try it out.
