myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: screen

Just keep in mind that if you want to run it in console in DSL as a normal user, you'll have to first give ownership of /dev/tty1 to the user (or group). You don't need to do this to use it in an x term.
I think this is necessary because root logs into tty1 and then su's to dsl....that's just a guess, though.

I have just installed screen with apt-get and made a .dsl and everything is working fine for the things I want to do with it. I use it for controlling mp3blaster with putty from a windows box. With screen i can shutdown putty and re-acces mp3blaster at any time at any place
