Hello ,
Damn Small Linux was a well working system until it wasnt higher then 1.0.I kept downloading but all I get was errors. Please stop uploading new buggy versions
until they are tested on at least a few different machines.

What a funny post!  First off these are RCs, second, what are your errors?  Just bitching doesn't do anyone any good.

JWM is absolutely wonderfull!!!
Until now I used DSL to "convert" some windows friends to linux, but they hated the interface so i had to add icewm.
This JWM thingie is simply wonderfull for them.
I hope that JWM will not be the first on the removal list when there will be a need for more space....
The only thing missing it's a fluxbox like right mouse button menu.

I also like having the JWM manager available. It could be made available as a myDSL download though ,if more space is needed. Nothing wrong with Fluxbox.

When I loaded up RC2 it still did not recognize my AT&T wireless adapter and load the atheros drivers like DSL-1.5 does.

<edit> Also noticed a typo in the lowram boot option line. no ubs should probably be no usb. I booted up DSL2.0RC2 on an old Inteva Celeron 333MHZ box. JWM runs a little slow on it which makes the mouse jerky at times. It loads the ethernet card fine with the tulip drivers, and it sees that there is an ALS sound card when it boots, but it doesn't recognize it as an ALS4000 and doesn't load any drivers. I tried the Alsa drivers, but they don't run the card either.

On the Inteva with Celeron 333MHz and 296MB RAM, I noticed that when I would download amsn or any other myDSL extention into the /tmp directory I couldn't install using the myDSL button in EmelFM. It would install if I double clicked on it in the file list though.

An odd thing about JWM is the icon paths.
One path, /usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons, is listed twice (once in a comment), when /usr/local/lib/X11 doesn't even exist in DSL.
Another path listed is /root/.icons, which is unusable unless you are running JWM as root. It might be a bit more useful to add /home/dsl/.icons or similar path.

Also receiving warnings...i assume they are from JWM:
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

JWM Configuration:
