HD Install :: Installed to HD, but can't save anything.
It doesn't really improve performance, just prevents crashing when Firefox wants more memory than your ram. So, you should make a swap partition twice your ram (2.4 kernel thing) but no larger.
128mb is plenty for DSL, but firefox might like more.Okay, I've now got two partitions:
While everything runs fine, I still have the problem of nothing being changed. (I'm testing this by logging on, changing the background, then rebooting - every time the background has reverted back to the default)
Surely, if this is truly installed, it shouldn't keep giving me the 'getting started with DSL' popup and default background every time I boot up??Read that document and you'll understand how to stop it from coming up when you login. As far as your background/wallpaper, how are you changing it and are you saving the setting? What version of DSL?

I'm changing the background by going into Control Panel/Background Selector, clicking on a new background, hitting 'Try It' and then hitting 'Install'.
On the right-hand side of the screen are the words: "Linux 2.4.31 on i686 Host: box User: dsl " (I'm assuming that might be the version number)
The machine is currently not connected to the Internet, but I can connect it and try to update if you think that might fix the problem.If the kernel version is 2.4.31, then you have dsl-4.x - you can find the version number from the control panel "system stats" button, it is at the top of the screen displayed.
If you want any changes you made to be saved then you need to use the control panel "backup/restore" button.Next Page...
