lucky13 : Recompile or remaster or make a symlink from MBAT to /proc/acpi/battery?

you got it! LOL shame on me! but I loved my work with awk and my battery saying it is "fully ready to rock'n'roll"

lucky13 : Or you can ditch xtdesk for rox.dsl

Look cool, I'll give it a try, but not on that toshiba : the faster the better.

lucky13 : /opt isn't RO if it's added/mounted to your persistent partition

Definitely, and on that toshiba for sure, I prefer to be persistent only the files I want to be. My way of doing give me that satisfaction, so I wont make /opt nor /home persistent.

lucky13 : You really should consider adding that if you intend to add MyDSL extensions

On that toshiba in particular, I'm using MyDSL extension from a local (persistent, dynamically generated by my initscript) source which holds all package I could need wether I've no Internet connection (USB Internet Connection is not usual in here!!!) I'll post my way of doing next time for those interested...

roberts : Once you learn the mydsl system, if your seven configuration files do not change, you could put them in your own personal mydsl extension. Then you have write once, ready many. The DSL/MyDSL is very flexible without requiring writing/editing init scripts.

Not sure to understand what you say. Excuse me, sometimes my english is that poor... I'm going to give a try to your MyDSL system on some other quicker computers, so I will see how it rocks then. By the way, my configuration files are to be changed with my feels, in a central way : right on the fileserver! Right now, I'm working on a way to fetch those files on the server on boot time. When it will be good enough for me, I'll deploy fluxbox (dsl on much old computers, lfs to better ones, debian for newers or even dsl on the better one because... damn it's fast!) on my working stations so they all look the same (as that madness dream I keep in mind!).

andrewb : THe latest version of Torsmo (0.18) deals with the MBAT problem. It compliles OK with GCC from the repositry. It is slightly larger than v0.17 (about 7kb) after compilation & stripping. I have a version ready to go if you PM me I can send it. I'll try & get it as a DSL or UNC package & send it for posting in the repositry.

I do thank you for your help, but I don't need it actually. Please post it in the repository if you can, because the 0.18 newer version includes more variables which avoid using exec commands (known to be slower). So it may help!

lucky13 : where /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/scd0

You are right! I missed it last time. I've not experiment mounting a lot in dsl but it seems to be as cool as you said (eg nearly doing everything alone!).


Hey, thanks to all of you for your answers! Here we say "2 persons are better than 1", so what about 4?
Thanks for discussing!
