Damn Small Linux v4.1 RC3 has been released

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 Cumlative Change Log for v4.1: * New notepad (editor.lua) * Updated pciutils to 2.2.9 * Added pop-ups to jwm tray * Added *.siag to supported dfm extensions (.dfmext) * Restored fluxter.bb to LHC 4-in-a-row. * Fixed bug in exitcheck (/opt/.filetool.lst) * Fixed reported bug in cpanel when booted legacy * Fixed reported bug mountci (permissions and menus) * Fixed reported bug in netcardconf (/opt/.filetool.lst) * Completed support for alternate window managers. * Removed background/wallpaper control from dfm and .xinitrc * Created /opt/.backgrounds, use xsri in window file include * Updated wallpaper.lua to use new structure * Updated "Getting Started" with Esc and Backspace key definitions for dfm * New boot option user=name * New boot option settime settime=its_server_name (must have boot time net access) use with tz=XX/Yyyyy for accurate local time. * New mini-icons in jwm mydsl menu when available. * New iconView.lua - View & Edit xpm icons. * 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. * Added 'toram' to frugal installed grub checkfs menu item. * Updated several murgaLua programs to reflect the dropped fl_ask GUI widget. * Dropped SWM - Small Window Manager. * Fixed System.map link error. * Better support for alternate window managers. - see /opt/.mydsl_menu/ and ~/.{wm}.inc * Streamlined MyDSL download procedure - dropped use of sudo and download location prompt. * Dropped unsued emelfm wrapper.
