Hi, I'm using DSL 0.9.3 as a LiveCD in a Pentium II with a GeForce2 that has TV Out, and I'm using a TV as a monitor.

I does the job quite well (I boot as "dsl vga=789" for 800x600) but the names of the icons (and the system menus, etc) are unreadable. It's not that big a deal, but is there any way to make them bigger?

Thanks
Ricky

Icons: /home/dsl/.xtdeskrc
FontName: whatever_font

Menu: whatever fluxbox style file you're using (/usr/share/fluxbox/styles?)
*.font: whatever_font

check out xfontsel for available font names

OK... So how can I do it on the fly? I mean, changing it while using the LiveCD version...

Only thing I can think of is manually edit the files and then use DSL's backup/restore feature to return the files each time you boot.
