Laptops :: A ton of questions from a noob
Make sure your usb drives are plugged in when you boot. Then you can use the mounter tool in slit to mount the drives. You use the little arrows to select the drive you want then click on the little screw shaped thingy to mount the drive.
To change the time format open ~/.fluxbox/init and change the line "session.screen0.strftimeFormat:"
For 24hr use:
%k:%M
For 12hr use
%l:%M
As far as the man pages are concerned, I always search google for them or just use the --help option. I don't know of anyone who has all of the man pages for the default dsl packages, but it wouldn't suprise me if one of these guys has them all in one neat little package.
try restarting the hotload service to "automount" the usb pendrive...I dont have any machines that are usb capable (well running DSL anyway) to practice on...sorry

Whilst I remember - about the slit thingy. What is the top part for? I see a box with an up and a down arrow in it - but never anything more in there, and clicking it doesn't seem to do anything. What's that for, and if I don't need it, how do I remove it?
As I only have internet at work, I cannot use the laptop on the internet - therefore a "quick google search" takes ages, as I have to wait until the next day at work to check the syntax for a command. Being a noob, I need to do this regularly, so a package of the man pages would be good.
What is the hotload service, and how do I play around with it?
It's "wmnet", which monitors your network traffic. If you are not on a local network or connected to anything else through eth0 (such as a broadband modem or router), then you don't need it. It is started from /home/dsl/.xinitrc.
If you have a dialip connection, a new copy that monitors ppp0 should automatically load when you connect.
