I have DSL installed on a tiny HD currently simulating a Compact flash install:
HDA1=64M  (main install)
HDA2=10m  (Save/restore)
HDA3=54M  (My DSL)

I have a Compact flash-> 40Pin IDE adapter on the way (ordered it from the Mini ITX store last week)
The PC is an old AMD K6-2 333 with a Voodoo 3 card and 128M RAM

Everything seems to work well- after some looking around, I found out how to save more of my settings in the "save/restore"

Question one:  I am trying to set up a static IP address for this box, so in the /OPT/ loader, I put:

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.115
sudo route add default gw 192.168.10.41
sudo echo "nameserver 192.168.10.213" >/etc/resolv.conf

Now, when I boot up- all is set up except for the resolv.conf !
Something must be over-writing it after the script runs???

Second question:

In the ITX store- there are Three Motherboards listed-  does anyone have any experience with DSL on any of them?  
Which has the best video and audio?   I read that the "M" series is poorly supported by Linux.....  does DSL have the needed drivers, or will I have to play "recompile that Kernel"?

M series works fine with DSL.

If you're wanting xfree etc, I have no idea.  If anyone has set up the xfree dsl, send me a copy of the config.  I hung last time I was messing around with it... couldn't alt-ctrl-backspace  (or does xfree exit some other way), no mouse or anything.  I don't have enough time right now to experiment with it.

Actually, the X that is running is just fine for what I need- I was just wondering how to over-write the /etc/resolv.conf  when the "personal settings" are restored...

Thanks for the ITX info.  What model did you use?
