Thank you. Sorry I didn't get back to you quickly. I've been out of town and off the board. Thanks Posh for providing the info.

:( I have installed DSL RC2 on my usb-stick, it boots and works well with the exception of installing software using mydsl. Abiword is an example: after downloading there is a new icon on the desktop, but clicking it produces only a flicker of abiword which is gone after microseconds, but the programm does not start.
This is different with boot from live-CD: Here I also find abiword (which was secured from sda2) and it opens readily.....
Does anybody know whats going on?
Thanks for the nice distro,,,,,,

Try double clicking on the program name in the list of files in EmelFM. I found that I could load the programs that way, but not with the myDSL button.

I was wondering if it might be better to run gtkfind as root from the menu.  As in sudo /usr/bin/gtkfind rather than /usr/bin/gtkfind.  The reason is the errors you get when you search from / (not an uncommen thing to do).  Is there any security reason for not running gtkfind as root?  Even if you keep it as it is now the user can still just close the error window.

I liked the inclusion of the joe window manager as an option.

FYI,

The SATA hard disk driver works for the Dell Optiplex GX280 and DSL 2.0RC2

Instructions (from memory):

1) Boot DSL livecd
2) Download the modules_cut.tar.gz file from the release candidate download site.
3) Open an xterm and type:

sudo su
/etc/mkwritable
tar -zxvf modules_cut.tar.gz -C /
modprobe ata_piix
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
exit
exit

and your SATA drives should appear as SCSI drives, IE: sda1 sda2 etc
