I am trying to make a custom version that has Mozilla, a PDF viewer, & ABIWord to use as an internet terminal in a business environment.  

I am stuck on editing some files in /home/dsl/

I want to delete shortcuts in  /home/dsl/.xtdestop/, edit the .xinitrc, & edit the /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu

I was trying to use mkmydsl & do not see any files in the /home/dsl directory.  Can anyone help?

rst, look in the /etc/skel directory for those files.  They get copied from there into /home/dsl.

Thanks for the reply, don't see it there,

Tried the mkmydsl & that looks like it is only good for adding extensions.  I'm doing it the standard way of customizing Knoppix now where you copy to a hard drive & chroot.  Still not sure where the /home/dsl comes from.

after you chroot to your new directory, type

ls -a /etc/skel/

do you see the files there then?  They get copied into /home/dsl when the system starts up.
