sorry guys,
after 2 days wandering around the forum to find the answer, in the end i have to ask you for several questions:

I had frugal install DSL to my machine with following settings:
- hda1: CF 64 MB for DSL image
- hdb1: 15GB HD partition for config and data

1. How can I turn off the DHCP setting ?
I let it go and put in bootlocal.sh something like:
sudo ifconfig eth0 xxxxxx netmask xxxxx
sudo route add default gw xxxxx
but it can not manage to change my network card setting during boottime.
Any suggestion?

2. I had to install MyDSL application everytime i boot the machine. For now, I want only to install vncserver now for a start. I couldn't find any configuration file that i can tweak to make it work. FYI, I have already use -restore option at boot.
Any suggestion?

Thank you for your help

Put the dsl files into a /optional directory on the hdd. Then use the
dsl mydsl=hda1
for the boot option.
You can also, I believe, leave it in the root for auto installing.

and for DHCP , either add the ' nodhcp ' option to your boottime options if you
are running from a liveCD, poormans, etc. If running HDinstall or frugal, add the
'nodhcp" statement to your lilo.conf "append=' line, and rerun lilo..
or menu.list if you use grub..

thank you for the reponse guys,
unfortunately it doesn't work.

I have edited lilo.conf in /boot/ to add nodhcp as what ke4nt1 suggested but it still does not stop the dhcp.
So I come up with silly (but working) solution, I put:
sudo killall pump
at bootlocal.sh before i put ifconfig....

concerning the myDSL, the VNCserver still doesnt installed automatically during boot time. Even I try to load with mydsl-load at bootlocal.sh and it still doesnt installed. I have to click it at desktop.

Is it there in the desktop on startup? If it is, and you want it to run automatically, you then have to put it into bootlocal.sh Mydsl would just install it, not run it.
Also, I don't think vncserver does anything gui-wise. So it might be running in the background.
