Hello yall,

I've got the lastest DSL on a usb-stick (started with loadlin from MsDos which is on the stick). I can choose betweeen DOS or DSL and it works very well. The only thing is.. my \cdom (which is my usb-stick/sda1) is ro en not rw... (i have to mount it rw to make a backup) What am i doing wrong?

Here's my loadlin.par:

c:\boot\isolinux\linux24 initrd=c:\boot\isolinux\minirt24.gz ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=nl apm=power-off max_scsi_luns=6 dma restore=sda1 vga=792 nomce splash quiet noeject

I think the mistake must be in here somewhere...

Hello again,

Even though i have mounted my \cdrom (usb-stick/sda1) rw, i can't seem to change and save files on it (for example: /opt/bootlocal.sh or powerdown.sh can't be changes/saved...)

What do i have to do? (i am of course ROOT, sudo su)

i do:
open a XShells - root access
type emelfm
navigate to /opt/bootlocal.sh (aka /ramdisk/opt/bootlocal.sh)
press edit button.
edit
save

navigate to /cdrom
press mkdir name it optional

can yo do the same ?

There's no edit button in my emelfm? (clicking on the file only results in viewing it/without the possibility to edit)

I found out what i did wrong (i guess)

I opened Xterm, sudo su, emelfm (and in emelfm i entered scite and opened bootlocal.sh and i could edit and save!)

Thnx a million...

i replayed your moves.

its funny.

if you type "scite bootlocal.sh" in the emelfm commandline you can edit and save
but if you type "scite". then in scite file-open select bootlocal.sh you can edit but NOT save.
