The simplied mydsl directory structure was introduced in RC1.
We have had GNU tar for along time, the busybox tar was redundant.
Never had wish ( tcl/tk ?) in DSL.

Do you mean that with the simplied mydsl directory structure we have to choose between having extensions on a custom iso and using the mydsl= cheatcode when before we could use the 2 at the same time?

My bad for wish (It was installed by tkdvd.unc)

any changes between 3.2RC3 and 3.2?

I did a HDD install from the RC3 the other night and on the first run thru GRUB didn't install at all.  When I rebooted I got the grub that the other distro installed still.  I used a grub cmd line and got into DSL.  Torsmo reported that I was using a 2.6 kernel even.  I booted to CD again and install went fine.

Is it possible for DSL on install to scan the menu.lst from another installed instance of grub and copy settings?  

It may be asking too much as most people run DSL from CD, but it would be something to shoot for.  When I install Mepis it scans and sees grub already installed and adds entry for other distro to its list.  Ubuntu does this too.  you have to manually make changes to the menu later if you have multiple Linuxes installed and you get kernel updates, but by that time you have a bit more knowledge.    Just a thought.

I loved the Saturn wallpaper from a while back.  Any chance that a user could drop their favorite .jpg in /mydsl on custom CD and it would be used as background?  Just a cool idea I thought of.  I understand themes pkged as a .dsl would work, but I'm just talkin wallpaper only.

Upgraded murgaLua to 0.3
Upgraded Sqlite to 3.3.10
Upgraded rdesktop.lua for resolution selection
Fix bug introduced during the 3.2RC cycle which prevented the CD from being ejected


Wallpapers and other personal choice settings can be stored in a myconfig.tar.gz and be restored just like any other mydsl extension. As such it can be on the custom CD giving the appearance of a full remaster.

RCs are work-in-process. I would never recommend to stay running an RC.

Hello,

If i make an HDinstall (lilo boot) with DSL3.2 the netcard eth0 is not recognised !!!
Same problem on an other type of PC.

If i boot from the cd DSL3.2 , netcard is OK.

HDinstall with DLS3.1 or lower on the same system is working fine concerning netcard.

Have you an idea ?


Thanks a lot
