After a looong wait, a new public WISP-Dist release has been published on Sourceforge: WISP-Dist build 2624. Note that you can always find fresh betas at http://www.hazard.maks.net/wisp-dist/downloads/.
From now on WISP-Dist images are partionless and can be installed on disks of any size and you don't have to do manual partitioning. Unfortunately that means that RAM usage is increased by approx. 1 MB; however this shouldn't be an issue if you have 16+ MB of RAM. Just dd image to your drive (dd if=wisp-dist_2134_img_wdist.bin of=/dev/mydisk) and that's it. Please note that this change does not affect ability to upgrade old WISP-Dist installation in any way. If you want to save on RAM, you can still do old-style partion-based installs as described in documentation.
