HD Install :: Always prompted by 'DSL X setup' panel on boot...



Hi Mikshaw

That's interesting to "move forward" my problems (you did not write for peanuts!!!).
Where do I find the boot options to try this?
is it in menu.lst?
if so, can I put frugal anywhere?

Thx to help me go ahead :O
yes, for grub it's /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst (/cdrom being the partition where the KNOPPIX file is installed).

If you have any dsl-specific boot options already it should say something like "dsl option1 option2 ...".  If you have no "dsl" in there, it must be added to that line, with your options added after "dsl"
Thx Mikshaw

Actually I've got in menu.lst:

title DSL (is it the DSL you're talking about?)
 kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

Is it fine?

If you have some extra time!! ... could you please take a look at my "situation" on my other pending post. That would help me finalizing my installation!! Anyway I've learnt a lot on this forum, very good one, Thx

Bye
Line1: title   DSL
Line2: kernel   /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 dsl quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal
Line3: initrd   /boot/minirt24.gz

I'm not sure what "quiet" is for, so for all i know it may need to be in front of "dsl", like the "fb*" options do.

this is too little too late, but the read-only filesystem in frugal is fixed by adding "frugal" to your boot options, and if you remove "xsetup" from that same boot line you should not be prompted to set your graphics every time.

I have the same problem on boot, I've installed it with the install command then I choice for the grub install how can i fix this ?
