I just installed DSL on my old P133 machine and I have to say it works great. I am however having trouble figuring out how to get the ftp server daemon to start on boot? I searched around the forum and didn't find any info on it.

Any help is appreciated

boot option "ftp"

or start it from /opt/bootlocal.sh with the command /usr/sbin/betaftpd

Thanks, that did the trick

I have one other question though. When I use MyDSL to install packages I get a "Non DSL User error" I tried running it from root and a user account and I got the same message. Am I missing something here too?

Sorry for the terribly n00bish questions :blush:

Thanks for the reply. I tried that but none of the icons showed up on the desktop and I couldn't figure out any way to get to my dsl any other way.

Well, if the package contains an icon entry, it will be installed in user dsl's desktop only.
If you want to copy them to other users, you can look in ~dsl/.xtdesktop

It's not that. It's when I log in as dsl none of the incons show up which includes the my dsl icon. I can't even get to a terminal window.

There's an icon tool option in the desktop config part of the menu. Scroll down to it and you should be able to set them up with it (single click, double click, icons on, icons off, etc.). You can get a term window from the menu, too.

One other thing I've noticed is that if you start XWin as user dsl from a directory other than /home/dsl your desktop lacks your settings, icons etc. becuase it only looks in the current directory and its children for the config files.
I'd imagine the same is true for any other user accounts you've created (startx from /home/username) and for root (/root)
