User Feedback :: The autorun welcome in windows



Yes, an excellent place to put the version number.
Perhaps a link to http://www.damnsmalllinux.org might also help.

Great idea.

Just went through a dozen unlabelled cds trying to figure out which was the latest version  :laugh:

I know I should label things straight away, but life interferes and my desk is a mess (I like it that way).

I have found that the cd's I have burned for 0.6.1 seem to take almost two minutes to boot up in the cdrom drive. I don't think this happened before. After I burned the cd, I was still in windows, and when I opened the drive where the new Damnsmall cd was, it autoran, so I knew I had something. I could, of course, explore the contents of the cd in Windows. Then when I tried to run it by itself, I ran into the strange almost two minute wait for things to perk up. I almost thought I had a bad cd, or cd drive, so I switched machines, and the same thing happened, although not as much time to wait.

So, the autorun has it's uses, as a confirm that the cd is "good", I suppose.

Too many new users are going to need that instruction, to set the bios to boot off the cd drive.

We ought to keep it. Those of us using  DSL on a daily basis don't see it anyway.

I think that the web displayed by the autorun should have a real how-to, for newbies.
Thanks

It should stay. It helps unexperienced people and does not delay too much when reboot from WinBlows.  If it will have a samll how-to, then it will be even more usefull.
moreover, I think it does not take much room...
