Changes:0.8.2
-- Added ndiswrapper with GUI
-- Added add users to liveCD with GUI
-- Improved dial-up PPP with controlling GUI
-- Added prims2 setup GUI
-- Frugal mounted read/write, backup/restore & mydsl in a single partition.
-- Added emelfm as super-user menu item
-- Changed colors of mc when launched from menu.
-- Added View in Scite emelfm user command.

These are 100% Robert's improvements, and Kent did a lot of work pre-testing.
(some of the mods are right out of these forum, thanks)

w00t! ...so schweet !!

lots and lots of tweaking, testing, retesting, retrying, retesting...

Boy, it was HARD to keep quiet about this one !!   ssshhh... !

Booting up DSL CD has returned to working like the 0.8.0 version ..
No more issues with the 0.8.1.1 emulation bootups ..
If you can bootup 0.8.0, you'll do fine here ..   :)

I have one laptop with a Microsoft mn720 wireless card - broadcom chipset ...schweet...
I have another laptop with a Proxim RangeLan DS wireless card - prism2 chipset ...schweet...
Save the script they make in your filetool.lst, put the script in your bootlocal.sh..
Voila, save to backup AND autorestart on bootup !  ...schweet...

Dial-up users will be pleased at the enhancements to the PPP with the GUI ..

The "Add Users" option makes testing and using the FTPd and SSH servers
so nice and easy for transfers between boxes ..
Add a new username and password - goto another box and open your fav FTP or term - Log In !!

emelfm as super user - by request..
Midnight Commander in true blue - by request..
and doubly good - MC in RED as super-user - reminds me of being Root in Redhat ..
emelfm user option - view in scite - by request..

It's been in final pre-release testing about a week now..
This is good stuff, folks....

And it's ALL on the 50 MB DamnSmall CD .. no extensions to load !
Always in your pocket !

Try http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/damnsmalllinux/current/
It has 0.8.2 and seems fast! I am downloading from that site right now. Can't wait!
