DSL Tips and Tricks :: How to remove the "Slit" panel?

Here are a few pointers.

(1) Boot with the command "noicons" and your mount.app will never appear. Also, booting with "nofstab" should prevent the autogeneration of the fstab and the user permissions that go with it. So if you boot with "nofstab", you should be able to prevent the regular user accounts from mounting a hard drive partition.

(2) If you use the Backup/Restore process, it is possible to customize many of your files to change what the user can see or has access.

(3) A good place to do things like change permissions via a startup script is to edit your /opt/bootlocal.sh script. This is kinda like an AUTOEXEC.BAT script from the old MSDOS days. You can use it to change the permissions in your /etc/fstab and or to remove mount.app from the fluxbox menu, etc.

Thanks!

I've tried to insert a line in the bootlocal.sh file:
sudo killall mount.app

However, when I restart the system. The user still can mount HD...

Anything wrong with my steps?

Thanks again...

Dear all,

the sudo killall mount.app command can remove the mounting window in the "Slit" control panel,; however, when I put it in the bootlocal.sh file, it tried to remove the mount.app before it is create (failed).

Any better ideas?

Thanks

Yes,

If you want to kill an X-Windows application, try this.

edit your

/home/dsl/.xinitrc

file and add your killall command directly after the enhance command.
