I'm going to regret this, but my brain is fryed after a half-dozenremasters........
I d'led 0.8.2,seemed good,remastered with some simple things
like skins,etc and booted in my usual way with "dsl dma".
Having remastered the iso to include a folder containing lots of
dsl packages,I went to it in emelfm (as superuser),selected xine
and hit the mydsl button.On running xine from menu or shell,
it segfaulted.Promptly blamed my permisions on the remaster,
remastered many times,when xine would work,I would discover
something else I had left out,and would remaster again.
Now I've noticed that xine segfaults when I boot with "dsl dma",
but when I don't use dma xine is o.k. I can then use hdparm to
turn dma on for dvdrom.
So I'm just wondering if anyone knows or can confirm any changes
to dma arrangements for 0.8.2?
I was using this arrangement - "dsl dma" at boot ,then mydsling xine.dsl
with 8.1.1,and it worked fine.
Regards,
confused Adraker

Hmmm-no USB drive plugged in at boot-no problem.DMA fine.
USB + DMA= xine segfault when starting to play Logo.mpv.
Blames "EL-Crappo" brand USB pen,(and maybe,just maybe
partitioning of same) and waddles off muttering under breath.
"But it works with DSL 082 iso burned to CD,and xine.dsl
loaded from hard drive,even with the USB stick plugged in
at boot- and I was extra carefull with the remaster,and did
EVERYTHING by command line too?!? and anyway,there
is nothing but pdf files on the USB stick right now."
Must have done something wrong in the last remaster
(the seventh!).

Damn I love this thread!I took the stuff out that I had in /etc/skel in the remaster
and also I had tried to build in libmp3lame to
/usr/lib and DMA,xine,and USB stick all live together
happily now.I have only messed with /usr/share/fluxbox,
/user/share/xmms/Skins and put a wvdial.conf into
/etc now.
So thats the end of that problem.
If you do a "meo" style remaster,my mistakes may
be informative....

Hey, at least I'm good for entertainment value!I have since noticed user Meo was surprised by
0.8.2's quirks also.I think I'll leave it alone now-
I still don't understand the changes,but what I've
got works fine.

......Or so thought I,until trying to use wvdial.dslwith wvdial.conf remastered into /etc.....
(Convenience over security)
Which,of course won't work now.
(I must be the only sentient being on the planet who
thinks wvdial rocks...).I don't truck with the saving
ppp config / filetool.lst idea.
Oh well.Ende.
