Hi Brandon,

Hey when you do updates try out klu9's xdelta method.

It saves tons of bandwidth and time for downloading....all round a better user experience.

See klu9's page here,

Thats almost as bad as mine. To get it on my server in the first place I copied the ISO to a CD and took it to school. They have like a T3 line so in like 5 minutes it was done.

Does anyone accually plan to use DCL 2008 for anything serious?

Dingo · #22 Post by **Dingo** » Mon 18 Feb 2008, 17:19

recently, the openoffice community har released an extensions for OpenOffice (works from 2.1, but better on 2.2)

*LilyPond for OpenOffice.org*
- http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/

OOoLilyPond is a macro for OpenOffice.org that simplifies the integration of music notation in OpenOffice.org Writer of Impress. It can be used to write a book on music theory or to write down exercises for music instruments or voices which need to be commented with lots of text.

to using ilypond with OpenOffice writer, to writing technic music books with musical examples, do you think adding lilypond to DLC may require more much RAM and system resources or not? it it' possible, I think DCL can be a valid resource to have, already setted lilypond and openoffice

Ah.... the curse of the "distro junkies"!

I'm trying dcl2008 out for fun, but am about to be rebuilding a PC for my church office. So, if I like it there's a good chance it'll become a file server and back-up repository.

Hmm; as I type I realise that the server edition might make more sense. Well; I'll take a look and give some feedback.

Server Edition isn't even started yet, so I don't think It will be around for a month at least.

I got Open Office 2.2 for my private install here and it works good on my Pentium M laptop. I think that with a full install Open Office should run pretty good, You have 256MB ram right?

I see you CoBlitzed Mirror 2 already; I think it would help out caneri to CoBlitz the Mirror 1 link too.

And here's a metalink; that way people don't have to choose which mirror, and their download will be combined from several sources
dcl2008.iso.metalink

it has the following URLs in it:

I added a link to the metalink and made the puppyfiles.ca link use CoBlitz. Thanks

Have you run OpenOffice sfs with DCL? I seem not to succeed doing that.

Brandon · #32 Post by **Brandon** » Thu 21 Feb 2008, 17:16

I used the pet packages available in the manager. Accually I got openoffice_cutdown3-2.2.0.pet and openoffice_mozilla-2.2.0.pet from ibiblio.org, I could make a DCL 2008 Open Office Edition if you would like.

I downloaded DCL and changed the font sizes and installed the Nvidia driver. I really like it so far. A very nice implementation of XFCE.
How about DCL= Damn Cool Linux.

I second that

Hi Brandon

VERY IMPRESSIVE - just fired up DCL and like it lots and my initial thoughts were, this is a Damn Cool Linux and that was before I read above post's - so for me at least -
DCL = Damn Cool Linux.

Still finding my way around - so for the moment

Best regards and many thanks for a very nicely presented 3.01 based DCLpuppy.
