Thanks everyone, but since I'm running DSL off USB and booting with a floppy, can I edit menu.lst? When I try, even using sudo su, I get a message about "read only file system".

I was concentrating on syslinux.cfg, just wondering now if I need to change the Grub menu.lst file to boot automatically into fb800x600, now I'm just wrestling with trying to edit menu.lst on the USB key. Or is it on my boot floppy?

Yeah!

I finally figured it out. It was an issue with syslinux.cfg, but the one on the boot floppy.

Since the floppy was my boot device, I needed to change parameters within syslinux.cfg on the boot floppy.

I cheated by booting a knoppix livecd and editing the boot floppy in another machine!

Works great!

Now I have to read some more to figure out how to convert feh and unclutter to dsl packages!

Thanks again.
