Thanks to cbagger01 I have DSL up and running as a live cd but the images on the desktop are to small. Is there a way to resize the desktop (maybe during bootup or something)?Thanks,
Yeto

During boot-up when you see the boot prompt, press F2. You will see all the options you can use. For resizing the screen, you can try using the option "vga=xxx". The values that you can use for this vga option can be found by pressing F3.

In the DSL 1.1 menu, there is a screen resolution panel, allowing an on-the-flychange to another resolution and screen size:
Menu -> System -> Xvesa.
There you can choose a different color depth, and screen size.
What ever you stick with, will be automatically saved when you shutdown if you have the
home/dsl/.xserverrc file in your filetool.lst, and have selected a place for your
settings to be saved, preferably a hard drive partition.
