Thanks for reminding me.
Please note the following files have been updated and are likely in your backup. You should compare and copy the new updated version from /etc/skel/
.fluxbox/menu .jwmrc .xinitrc

* More install options on dslinstall menu; access via install boot label
Hi Robert,
How do I use the dslinstall menu? Is "install" a cheat code that I type when I boot with the live CD? And what should I expect to see with this cheat code?From the boot prompt:
boot: install
You will get a text installation menu with many options to make floppies, do all the installation types, and even start cfdisk.
It is useful to not have to start X and other processes, as you use less resources.
1. Make Standard Boot Floppy 2. Make USB Boot Floppy
3. Install to Hard Drive 4. Frugal Grub Hard Drive Install 5. Frugal Lilo Compact Flash Install
6. USB Pendrive ZIP boot Install 7. USB Pendrive HDD boot Install
