I went back to a version 3.? of DSL. Setting up the machine with HD install takes not much more than ten minutes. I cfdisk, reboot, install to HD, modify /boot/grub/menu.lst, enable apt, install unclutter, feh, toshutils... after doing GNU utils upgrade.
Doing the GNU utils upgrade seems to introduce problems with the Control Panel and DSL Extension Panel not operating as expected. I click to open, maybe they open, maybe the buttons in the applets work, mostly they don't. Not sure what that's about.
The only thing still troubling me is cron. Not setup by default. When I use apt to install cron and attempt to use it, the cronjobs don't execute. Not sure why.
As far as upgrading fluxbox to 1.0.0 - I gave up. Tried several lightweight distros. Back to whatever version I have burned on a disk, maybe 3.2 - with 7matrix it looks great. Thought I wanted to be able to boot the machine with feh running a slideshow in workspace 1 and firefox standing by in workspace 2. No longer matters. Just want to fix cron and figure out why my control panels are flaky.
