I've been playing with Damn Small on hd install for a couple of months and it looks great! Thanks!

I'm considering switching the LAMP system I run at work down from full Knoppix (get rid of KDE etc) to DSL, then building up just the parts I need - php etc.

This has probably been answered before, but:

How do I log in (hd not cdrom version) as user=$my_user_name, not damnsmall?

Regards

xev

to add users to your HD installed DSL type:

login as root and type

useradd at the prompt.

This will prompt your for additional users, create user directories under /home, etc.

then exit from the root account

exit

then login to your newly created user account
