Q. How do I autostart "enter command/filename/service/whatever here"

A. Enter the commands such as a modprobe to start a device, command to start a service into the /etc/rc5.d/S99bootlocal file.

Here is an example:

Quote

#!/bin/bash
# put other system starutp command here
/sbin/syslogd
modprobe sb <-----start soundcard
/etc/init.d/rc.firewall <-----start firewall (must have ke4nt1 rcfirewall.dsl installed)
/etc/init.d/ssh start <----start ssh

Here is a few quickes:

Q) Why does my wheel mouse not work? DSL says it detects it!

A) DSL's skimmed down version of X does NOT support the wheel function of the wheel mouses. You can however use it as a third button

Ok... Sorry to interupt but this is extreamly freaky!
I just clicked the middle button (The wheel) and it pasted this:

I control everything.
Where you live, where you work,
who you talk to, who talks to you,

I just booted my computer too so this is a bit odd...
I must have just copied it with out knowing but I don't understand where I could have. The only thing I have done was go to this website.... Let me try again:

Just a bunch of space.... I swear I am not pulling anyones leg here.... I am kinda freaked out!

Hmmm....

All of my wheelmice scroll with the wheel function just fine..

The "middle" button is how you "cut&paste" in DSL..
highlight a block of text with a left button "click/drag"
Release when your wanted text is all highlighted...
place your mouse cursor in a pasteable area DO NOT LEFT CLICK.
simply position the cursor where you want to paste...

Now click the MIDDLE button (scroll )
You just pasted..

And the text you saw "Where you live, where you work"
looks to be a part of SaidenUnleashed signature post..

OH god... I am such an idiot

*smirks*
But what I ment was that the scroll function didn't work though it does work as a button (As you explained).
