Other Help Topics :: Need more memory...



It works for data CDs too, but the performance boost is not as great because the DSL programs are scattered throughout the \KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX compressed filesystem and this means that the drive head must jump around alot and this delay is bigger than the delay caused by lack of DMA.  DMA is great at improving throughput and reducing CPU load but it doesn't improce CDROM random access time.
I'm always using DMA, just never wrote about it cause 'twasn't relevant at that time :)

I'm hesitating with this frugal thingy... The CD version is quite cool, and it works fast enough cause it put's the programs I'm using into memory or something and they run very fast :)
Besides the laptop is USB 1.0 and I'm also pretty certain that it's not set to boot from USB, AND I'm sure, that I, as "just a mere user who surely has not the fu**iest idea about what they're doing", can't access BIOS to set it. Stupid, I know. Yet true... ???

So I'll just stick with my stick :p [data] and CD [DSL].

Nevertheless, I'd still like emacs very much... Any ideas how to add it? Is there a way to do so without remastering? Maybe I can't (somehow?) make a .dsl package of it?
Try the Zile.dsl extension in the Apps section of the MyDSL repository.

Zile is a slimmed down version of EMACs.

You can always try to build an emacs extension using the deb2dsl script and clivesay's howto pdf document.
