Hi roberts,
              I was very lucky. I was successfully to use the 'toram' option. I found that it used lilo loader to boot up the system. I have a problem. I use the frugal_instal.sh to install the system to the CF card. I should follow the instruction to input the option parameters so that it can pass the parameters to the bootup process. I have some questions. Does it still use the syslinux.cfg in the boot.img file? Can I modify it. Since I request the boot options are : dsl 2 vga=normal nodhcp toram. How can I configure it? Can you give me a suggestion. Thanks. May I say thank you for the following members? amarui , catfish cbagger01 and roberts are give me the greater help. Thanks to all again.

When using frugal the toram is a prompt so that is covered.
Now when it prompts for daemons you can type both 2 nodhcp they will both be passed along for you.  When you boot from cdrom to start the frugal script set the video mode there, it will be passed along. So boot from cdrom like this
boot: dsl 2 vga=normal.  Be sure to use the latest version as there were bugs in the orginal script.

If you wish to change later, you will have to boot from cdrom and manually mount the CF to edit things.

Hi roberts,
             Thank for your attention. I printed out the frugal_instal.sh file. It is a script file. Can I modify it? Can I change the script file to:

vga=$VGA --> vga=normal
APPEND=".... BOOT_IMAGE=/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX $RESTORE..."
--> APPEND="...BOOT_IMAGE=/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX dsl 2 toram nodhcp"

I also remark off all input option parameters. Is it possible for me to do that? Thanks.

Kenny,

Sure.  If you are comfortable hacking the code, then absolutely.  May the "code" be with you.

Hi roberts,
              I was successful to modify the code at frugal_instal.sh. I only copied it to the usb flash disk. I changed the 'vga=$VGA' to 'vga=normal' at the script file. when it prompted for daemons, I typed both dsl 2 nodhcp.  I input 'no' for other options. Thank for your help. Now the problem is all fixed. Also, thank for other members.
