great distro, am having loads of fun figuring this out. I have one difficulty. I enabled dma when I started dsl . I then installed to hd. Because the remaster takes most of the info from disc it takes the default no dma as one of its attributes. How do I enable DMA again. I am installed on hd and have made a remaster disc. Thanks , also on the new 1.0 dsl, how does one add themes in styles for the desktop, the blue theme was not continued onto 1.0. Thanks again . Marty

you can add the same boot options used in a liveCD to your bootloader.

You could also set dma in bootlocal or other startup script with something like this:
hdparm -d 1 /dev/{drive_one,drive_two,drive_three....}

thanks for the help, now to find boot local. What is its main directory. When the script you gave me was used in terminal it told me my dma was off. Great distro. Marty I am using a scsi card and 2 scsi hds and dsl is the only live distro to even find them nevermind boot from 1. Again thanks
