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 in DSL v4.3RC1: * Updated murgaLua to v0.6.6. * Updated nano-tiny to v2.0.7. * Updated and consolidation of mydslBrowser with new mydslBrowser.lua. * New picture puzzle added to Games collection. * New calculator.lua replaces calcoo. * Optomized minirt24.gz - much smaller. * New background and theme for both JWM and Fluxbox. * Improved removal of mydsl extensions on traditional hard drive installations. * Dropped SCSI modules for needed space - available in the modules section.
