Comparing the 4.3 to the 4.4RC1 in vmware:

1. The gradient background in 4.4RC1 is nice.
Much better looking/eyepleasing than the 4.3 version.
Black on Black gets old after a while.....

2. The font IMO, is better looking/easier-2-see/wider
in the 4.3 version, than the skinny thin font in 4.4RC1.

As I A/B the two, the difference is very noticeable.
My vote is +1 for the standard DSL font.

The busybox "who" command doesn't seem to work. I got the same results each time whether I was in screen, standard shell after umounting screen, and again after rebooting without the extension present to see if it was doing something wrong. The output of who in each case was just:
USER TTY IDLE TIME HOST

gnu who will show the same result on a liveCD or frugal. Both do this because there is no 'real" login occuring. The file /etc/inittab usually spawns getty's for a login.

You can see the difference in /etc/inittab vs /etc/inittab.multi

The traditional hard drive installation, which uses inittab.multi,should show expected results. In fact, from a liveCD or frugal, exit to prompt, become root, set passwd for user dsl, copy inittab.multi to inittab, then telinit q, then exit. A traditional login will appear. At the login prompt, login as dsl then try the 'who' command. Results are as expected.
