For the user=name boot option, can you also get it to load extensions from a \name directory too for maximum configurability (is that a real word?)
i.e. mydsl user=blackhathacker
will load all extensions from \mydsl then all extensions from \blackhathacker.
This would allow enormous customization at boot time. On the same CD you could have users such as /repairdisk /wordprocessing /developement /server etc etc
regards b1m1I already support named mydsl directories, so you should be able to use user=blackhathacker mydsl=hda2/blackhathacker or ...
user=blackhathacker mydsl=hda2/office
user=kids mydsl=hda2/games
or many other combinations.
Note: The name option is something comming in v4.1
I have had a problem running dsl-4.0 on my new laptop with an AMD dual-core processor. During the start cycle two penguins pop-up instead of one and whenever the system starts it shows 100 percent cpu usage. Have the same behavior with earlier versions. I know this issue was sort of roundly dismissed earlier, but if I run dsl-n there is no problem.Two penguins is normal for a dual processor system. Does booting failsafe help? At the first boot prompt type failsafe.
boot: failsafe
On the otherhand... It may be because your computer is so new and so fast that it requires DMA. Try this
