| DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.
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 What's new? * New pendrive usbhdd installation script now uses grub with DSL on 2nd small partition. * Removed pendrive usbzip install script, syslinux and mtools. * Changed default root menu from dfm to chosen WM menu. * Updated "Getting Started" to reflect changed defaults. * Changed kernel from 2.4.34.1 to 2.4.31 to gain user contributed modules, e.g., ipw2* and nvidia. * Created new support modules: cloop, unionfs, ndiswrapper, fuse, and madwifi in support of kernel change. * Updated nano-tiny to v2.0.6. * Fixed non-critical bug in dsl-config concerning hard drive installations. * Added dsl 3 runlevel for multiple user dsl consoles. * Fixed bug in iwconfig-setup * Updated functions5.lua * Updated fluxbox menus to use system default (helvetica). * Added vim link * Patched knoppix-autoconfig to correct language issues. |
