I run a fairly simple frugral install. It was running 2.2b until a few hours ago at which time I backed up my stuff to hdd1 & then did an upgrade to the server by using the "Install" script where it goes to runlevel 2 & gives you a menu.

After that, I tried to reboot the comp with my old grub menu & settings, everything semed to work allright except that where when I had booted with the Live CD my fluxbox menu had a "My DSL" entry, the new frugal install does not show that part of the menu.

The strange part is that I know its picking up my dsl directory & loading the .dsl's into memory but still will not make a menu entry for any of them. I'm kinda stumped.

Same thing happened to me as I included my own menu in the backup/restore which was overwriting the default menu in 2.3..

2.3 handles the mydsl entry differently in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu - it now uses an include directive:

[include](.fluxbox/mydsl.menu)

rather than the old:

[submenu](myDSL){}

so to get it working you need to either remove the menu from your backup/restore and use the 2.3 default or you can add in the new directive.
