Hey guys i got a tough one for ya,

1)I know there is a way to do it because i have seen it done but i can't remember how they did this. What i am trying to do is have the computer boot normally, but when it is about to load windows, i need it to go to a new html screen that i created rather then the desktop. I know there is a command in terminal to do that same thing, but i can't remember for the life of me what it is.

What i mean is, you have X that runs the desktop with the icons. I want to open a similiar graphical environment, but rather then the desktop, just a blank screen with mouse and keyboard support. I dont know what file or command i should use.

2) i am trying to get an ATI Remote wonder 2 to work with DSL and i know if i use "insmod" command i can get it to install and it will use the config file i already made for it. Can you please tell me which file i should write a small script in to get it to insmod automatically for me at boot?

Thanks,

1) /home/dsl/.xinitrc controls what applications are started with an X session. If you just want a blank screen, you'd remove everything. But you'd probably want to at least have a terminal started, or you won't be able to do anything.

2) /opt/bootlocal.sh
