a question overall:
downloadable versions of dsl are:
dsl-1.5
dsl-1.5-syslinux
dsl-1.5-embedded

and no explanation on what difference between them.
I'm writing now using 1.5 "standard", on a bootable cd, but still amazing by so few info about everything in the project, except distro itselfs (yeah dsl is really nice and documented).

What's the embedded version? and syslinux?
Sry for posting here, but there was not a section around ALL the dsl project.
An other surprise was finding the "damn fresh" search engine, but no way to have info about it on web, why.. where.. who.. development status or to give suggestions!

Thanks

A. dsl-x.x.x.iso
B. dsl-x.x.x-syslinux.iso
C. dsl-x.x.x-embedded.zip

Use <A> for most things. If your board supports booting from a cdrom, but <A> does not work for you, but <A> does not work for you, try <B>.

Use <C> to run DSL inside of a host OS (Winblows or Linux).
