DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: 210MB !



Here is my idea:
why don't expand the limit to 180/ 210 MB (this is the mini CD Format w/o any parts cut of).
The main reason I'm useing this instead of thr Businesscard cd is not that I want to make dsl lager, but the usually used CDROM Drives have something like 40-52x speed. This would make the PC transmor into a shaker if you use a Bcard cd. I althouh=ght heard a co-worker demageing his  drive by a not round CD.
So I think from the hardware side it's a very good way to use mini CD-RWs on which I can allways have the latest version of the distro and then why not use the rest 130/160 MB?

If you add some mydsl extensions you will make DSL big enough to fit on a 180mb CD!!  :)
Yeah, why stop at 180 or 210 or have the packages determined by a "dictator".
With DSL you start with a small base, then you get to pick the packages you like
then use mkmydsl and create your own mydsl cd at virtually any size.
It is really simple to use.Look in the documentation project.
It is not doing a remaster, much easier than that.
How cool is that.

Using the mkmydsl feature in DSL, my latest creations
are just over 4.0GBs for my bootable Live DVDs.

Make DSL into whatever you need..
Use the tools available..
Don't wait for someone else to build YOUR custom distro for you..
