Proof that 50MB can be useful, functional and beautiful, 1.5 is so much more that DSL's humble beginnings.  Like all the other releases over the last two years, Robert has again worked very hard to increase the functionality and ease of use of Damn Small.  Now you can pretty much install DSL from any media to any without needing net access.

Ke4nt added some much needed documentation into the start page.

Clivesay, Ke4nt, and SaidinUnleashed did lots of testing for this release so you don't have to ;-).

Special thanks to Damir from Slovenia (known at DeviantArt as ~love1008) for allowing us to use his fantastic background image.
His home page -> http://love1008.deviantart.com/ -- fantastic stuff!

BTW, our own SaidinUnleashed made the Fluxbox/XMMS theme for this release.

...regarding icons, just click once, or you will be seeing double :-).

Also new with this release is the Official Launch of the latest incarnation of the DSL Documentation Project.

There has been a complete overhaul, and we have moved to a much, much nicer MediaWiki setup.

Check it out at http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki

FYI...
current.iso and dsl-1.5.iso have checksums matching dsl-1.5.iso.md5.txt

However, current.iso.md5.txt is different.
