Loved and used DSL and DSL-N back in the day, excited to see it up in this new iteration and as I have used antiX for years enjoy the hybrid of both, thanks John! My issues currently (and I know we're talking -alpha- so not a full-on release yet) is Badwolf freezes on my old Thinkpad (without hard drive so using live usb). I installed elinks using apt and it worked flawlessly! Tried to also install Firefox, wouldn't install, neither FF nor Firefox ESR. Thanks for your excellent work May the new DSL live long and prosper!

I can see in the VMWare bar that my webcam, a Realtech Integrated_Webcam HD, and the fingerprint device, a Shenzhen Goodix Fingerprint Device, are detected. Can those devices be enabled or are they just detected by the virtualization software(VMWare)?

How so? I decided to put it to the test today. First I turned the volume up in alsa-mixer and enabled java script. Then I headed to www.youtube.com, denied all the cookies and searched for my favourite tune Öppna Landskap (sorry for my Swedish (Open range or something it would be in EN) found it and played it without any hazzle at all. Truly remarcable as the distro itself; DSL 2024!

Hey,here are some Problems I am struggling with:
after installing with the xorg=fbdev parameter on the bootoptions I have an resolution of 480x800 on my EEE PC 4G,which is good. Unfortunately badwulf now only shows blank pages. This effect does not show when installing DSL with save videomode.
xrand, which I use in Antix to scale my screen with: " xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.5x1.5" does not work in DSL.
apt-get update says :It appears that at least one file list is missing. So I am ve not shure if and how to upgrade my system succesfully.
Anyway, I have fun playing around :-) So John, it  is good you restarted this project, Thx.

Under Virtualbox 7.0.14 after adding guest additions the mouse can not copy/paste.

However shared folders work. Hum?

After some tveaking it works pretty well as a Virtual Machine in VMWare on Windows 11. First I booted the default and made an install. That left me with a resolution of 800x600 which just becomes a little square on a 13” laptop screen with a resolution of 1920x1080. Found a mention of someone booting in ”Safe Mode” so I tried that. First it gave me a resolution of 1024x786. The live mode is kind of sluggish on my laptop. A Dell XPS 13” with 16 GB of RAM. I allocated 20 GB as disk space and 4 GB of ram making the installation that I have at present. I booted from ”Safe Mode”, updated everything and installed syslinux-utils. After installation it worked pretty well at 1280x786. The terminal, Web Browser and the Editor does not work from the menu now. The terminal did until I made the update. The system is a bit sluggish with a slight improvement after turning Conky off. Took some screen shots that I might share later. I’m typing this running DSL-2024-A that works OK so I’m pretty impressed since it is an alfa release.

Thanks for activating my account, John!

I installed DSL, then did apt update, apt upgrade. This caused Terminal to stop working. (Or at least there's nothing visible on the desktop; maybe it's doing something I can't see.)

After installation (and before upgrading), conky says I'm using 80 MB of RAM, but free says I'm using 202 MB (whch is still very little, of course).

DSL 2024 works reasonably well on my Aspire One 522, with a two-core AMD C-50 APU and 2 GB of RAM (upgraded from 1 GB, with 256 MB reserved for video).

my wifi (ralink rt3062 doesn't work i use antix 23 but i have to use the dvd iso sadly.

Web "Brawsers" is a typo (not in the main menu, but under "Term Apps").
