>> Damn Small Linux 4.1
| Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD) Boot from a USB pen drive Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows) Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install" Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!) Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize Changes for 4.1 * Updated pciutils to 2.2.9 * New iconView.lua - View & Edit xpm icons * New notepad (editor.lua) * New mini-icons in jwm mydsl menu when available * New boot option user=name * New boot option settime settime=its_server_name use with tz=XX/Yyyyy * Updated torsmo to v0.18 - now supports noswap * Updated .dfminfo now a plain text file. * Updated processing order of extensions with .tar.gz now last to better support myconf.tar.gz * Root menu solely under user control - defaults to selected window manager menu. * Updated firefox default preferences to use SansSerif font. * New key bindings for jwm.
