Actually, I spent rather longer than 5 minutes trying to find a workaround. I was really disappointed that I couldn't find anything that would help, and am very pleased that there seems to be a way to make my own cd.
The problem with hidden gems is that they're hidden
Thankyou everyone for your directions, I shall give them a go.

Since laptops now outsell desktop machines... CRT's are becoming a dying breed.. LCD's will assume their place.. The 60HZ issue will die with the CRT's ..
Well, don't forget, that there are some (or should I say: many?) people -like me- running older PCs with CRTs... One thing that I like in DSL is that it fires up the older machines and you don't need some hyper-confs to run it. I run it as a liveCD with the 'toram' option on my 600MHz Celeron and -yep- I have a CRT monitor...
Greets! RobertAnd don't forget that as the CRTs become "obsolete", we'll be able to pick the "you beaut" ones for dirt cheap! (Just this instant picked myself up a good 17" for Aus$20, now gotta see if I can install an old PCI vid card as well as my FX5200, and get dual-monitor setup with the 17" and 15"...)You should be able to change the refresh rate with the '-screen' parameter in .xserverrc:
-screen widthxheight[xdepth[xfreq]][@rotation] use a screen of the specified width, height, screen depth, frequency, and rotation (0, 90, 180 and 270 are legal values).
for example: exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -screen 1024x768x32x75 should give a refresh rate of 75hzNope
Xvesa will only accept standard VESA 2.0 display timings (60Hz refresh rate).
Unless someone here has compiled a new version of XVesa that suddenly added support for VESA 3.0 refresh rate adjustment.Next Page...
