Even if DSL has a newer kernel there are a number of computers where it will not be able to boot from USB yet featherlinux with an older kernel will be able to boot just fine - do they have something special in their USB configuration ? ???

Setup->Desktop->Wallpaper
It uses the same tool as fluxbox and therefore the same location for the backgrounds

cc, want an older kernel 2.4.26, we still offer dsl 1.5 and even older kernels, see the download archive section. Even dsl v05.3.1 for sx computers. Or was this just an advertisement?

No, I would really like the latest kernel BUT I was just curious of what differences there are - I know very little about the initial scripts used in the very early stages and I managed to get to the point where I compare the original linuxrc (from inside minirt.gz) from DSL and featherlinux - there are not so many differences, only it seems that featherlinux is very early starting the USB modules (it has something like
USB_MODULES="usbcore.o ehci-hcd.o usb-ohci.o usb-uhci.o usb-storage.o"
very early and then something lke
# Load USB modules for booting
loadmodules USB $USB_MODULES
mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb > /dev/null
# need to sleep because it takes some time to register things
sleep 4
echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
a little later) but obviously I am not experienced enough to take those things from there to DSL and I was wondering if I could convince somebody that knows what he is doing to look at that ... sorry if that looks a little lame :(
