After my grandma was having trouble with several ISPs in XP, I decided to show her DSL 2.0 RC2.  I loaded it with toram and went to the desktop as usual.  Then I set up my connection and proceeded to connect.  It dialed and the DSL portal page loaded.  To test the connection, I went to one of her favorite sites.  It worked!  That testing led to a problem in the Windows setup instead of the phone wiring and the Lucent Winmodem in her system.  So one of my grandma's friends will take care of the rest.

Hi everyone!
I'm finally back online ....... and downloaded the latest RC(2) - fugal installed it (with home, opt and mydsl on a separate partition).

Initial impressions:
* hated the MS look of jwm but it's so light and useful you end up loving it.

* restructured the DSL menu to have:
- (my favs) firefox and and xterm on top,
- followed by all the apps (submenus)
- then help, find, run - with all the Control panel, setup and system stuff near the bottom
- added "myDSL panel" (Download extension) entry below Control panel
- exit options at the very bottom.

* disabled the desktop icons
* enabled root window pop menu
* added torsmo mydsl for monitoring the battery, ram and swap. also added xbattbar (the green line at the top of the screenshot) as  another reminder to watch my dying battery.

I also love Firefox 1.0.6 :cool:.
So far I have added 6 extension:
* Adblock
* EditCSS
* GMail Manager
* Spellbound and the Mozilla SpellCheck libs (can't get the Aust EN dictionary extension to load??)
* unclosetab

Well that's about it so far :D
My thanks to those who did all the hard work putting together this very nice RC!

Cheers
rob
