I'm using an older version of DSL off the HD; I'll burn a copy of the newest version and try that. Thanks.

I haven't tried your wmaker extension yet, but I'm just looking in the archive now.
My preference is for Fluxbox, but I'm particularly interested in how your package was put together....I tried building a wmaker.dsl a few weeks ago, and I couldn't get it working.

Just for future reference, there are some things that could have easily been removed to save quite a bit of space.  
The docs are around 200k...most of them (apart from the copyright) can be removed.  
The locale directory (1.4mb) and locale menus aren't really necessary in a distribution which is (i assume) something like 100% English.  I could be wrong about that, so feel free to correct me.
Including a 141k wallpaper isn't really necessary for a "damn small" distro.
Man pages are typically removed from extensions...they can be found in countless places online.

I don't mean to be picky...just trying to help, as ke4nt has helped me. :;):

I normally pull these out when I rebuild them..
In this case, I wanted to test it before breaking it up..
Certainly the locale files and the man pages can go.
Some programs WANT to see some help files to run properly...
After my initial testing , it seemed to be missing quite a few things.
( exit out of X to see many failed file seek attempts. )
So, seeing that, I felt the docs may be helpful in troubleshooting this for now.
