PLEASE HELP!!!

where do I need to (nano-) edit something
to get my serial mouse to work??

mouseconfig works, but forget after reboot.

(I have  /boot/vmlinuz ... 1 feb.. shall I
download a newer DSL? Has in been fixed?)

how can I fix UPDATEDB ??

how can I make mouseconfig and netcardconfig STICK?

can we please have a COMPANDER module in the XMMS player?

how to start the compute rand it goes straight into XMMS (playing a plalist!) without user intervention in a playlist?

how to auto-start SSHD?

John?

pleeeeeaaassse?

If your serial mouse works after using mouseconfig, you may have to run through that each time you boot up DSL. Do you start in runlevel 2 so you
can run mouseconfig? You would do that with boot: knoppix 2

For the mouse I would try adding the following to /opt/bootlocal.sh
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse
Where ttyS0 is com1, use ttyS1 for com2
Most of the boot up things you want to do can be added in bootlocal.sh  To startup sshd add /etc/init.d/ssh start
If you can run it from the menu and you want to start it up at boot time then look for the command in /home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu

Edit .xinitrc to comment out fluxbox. Just change

fluxbox

to

# fluxbox
