Searching for a use for our 15+ old Dell laptops. I found some nice projects turning them into DPFs. Naturally, I chose DSL to run from a CF card. $19 for the CF/IDE module and a spare 256MB CF card later. I'm up and running on DSL.

Turn it on, it boots and runs the slideshow, swapping pics every 5 mins. Cool!

Just 'one more thing'... how can I completely hide the mouse cursor and the workspace stuff at the bottom of the screen? I'd like to hide EVERYTHING else on screen.

TIA,
Neb

I think I have seen an utility to remove the cursor but I don't remember the name: Search the forum for e.g. 'picture frame'.

In the .XINITRC file, I remarked out the lines that load the fluxter and shadow? whatever and the workspace box and that little box in the lower right corner are now removed. The dock is set to auto-hide as well. I just need to remove the mouse and keep it from going to sleep after 10 minutes.

I'll try that unclutter link and see what happens.

Thx
