The second release candidate of Damn Small Linux v4.0 is now available for testing. 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 Change log: * New xtar.lua. A new GUI to view,extract or process as a MyDSL extension various tar files. * New netcardconf.lua. A new GUI to configure netcards, relaces dialog version. * New printing.lua, called from the printer icon, provides "intelligent icon" to handle all printing needs, from setup, start, stop, or print, double-click or drag-n-drop. * New add2filetool.lua, add2Xfiletool.lua, add2bootlocal.lua provides smooth interface for these tasks, double-click or drag-n-drop * New switcher.lua GUI to switch WM, jwm, fluxbox, or swm * Added sudo to myprism2, myndis, myiwconfig so they can be run from home by double clicking. * Updated minirt24.gz waitusb function. * Fixed cloop error on traditional hard drive installations. * Fixed background on several icons. * Updated "Getting Started" with more dfm information. * Fixed missing ext3 support. * Updated pendrive_usbhdd.sh with more warnings of its use of "sda" * New rootMenu.lua sets root menu based on selected WM. * Removed -zoom from .dfmext mplayer associations to better support older hardware.
