Thanks roberts.
If I start xmms from menu (dsl/apps/xmms etc..) ala 3.4.7 the error messages do not appear.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, I was able to reproduce what you have seen.
Both JWM and Fluxbox swallow the "errors".
Dfm just as Emelfm do not.

I can add a 2>/dev/null to the startup icon from xmms in dfm.
That will make it work like both window managers menu items.

Thanks for reporting this.

If DSL can make it easier to customize/extend for more pizzaz, within size constraints and without impacting functionality, I think that's great! Otherwise, forget about it....

One could easily make a unc extension of icons with the same names as those found in /usr/share/dfm/icons. Loading such an extension at boot time would allow one to have their own "customized icon set" as an overlay replacement.

Alternately, one could add icons to a directory in their home directory and then change the icon setting via dfm options. This would produce a unique .dfminfo. Since both .dfminfo and your personalized icon directory are in your home directory, they would be included in the backup/restore process.

Both are easy ways to "have it (icons) your way"

But of course, I would continue to encourage all to post screenshots so that option would remain open for possible adoption as DSL's default collection.

Hi Robert!

I haven't followed this thread (no time) but I just want to give a spontaneous comment after just taking a glance at this RC: Well done!!!

Have fun,
meo

The pendrive-usbhdd.sh script in /usr/sbin is broken. It works up until the last step, when it tries to copy the kernel and the initial ramdisk. It tries to copy /cdrom/boot/isolinux/linux24 and /cdrom/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz but the directory /cdrom/boot does not exist. In fact, I don't know where the kernel is when I try to copy it manually.

The new release of DSL looks excellent. If not for shaky WPA support in the backported ipw2200 driver, I would be using it on my production machine.

EDIT: I believe I discovered the problem. /dev/shm is mounted on /cdrom, not /dev/cdrom1, so it only sees the KNOPPIX filesystem on /cdrom. Manually mount /dev/cdrom1 on /cdrom2 and copying the kernels is a temporary fix.
