So I wrote http://www.fsdev.net/node/16 which should help newbies a great deal.  I plan to write a node which will document how to build software with DSSS, and how to install additional libraries from the Internet using DSSS.

Gahh!  Good catch!  It's fixed now.

Yes it is.  I could enable a module to change that, however, that would incur more memory use and would increase the number of errors and disconnects.  Until I can get the memory use changed I have to play it careful.  The alternative is that I have to write the whole site by hand.  I'm not good with PHP, and I'm even worse at HTML and I really really stink at CSS.  It's just safer if I stay away from those.  I'm good at languages like D and Java though, so I'm not all bad.
