Because I'm lazy...
Somebody please tell me how to tune DSL NOT to eject cd on shutdown or reboot. I think I should edit some shutdown script. But it's not the /opt/powerdown.sh.
It would be nice to be able to reboot my DSL server remotely...

And Is it possible to make DSL to be loaded into RAM by default?

Hi,
please, just post your first question on the appropriate forum:

http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-n/f/

Second question: add toram in your boot line and you will have DSL running in your ram. With DSL, you have to have at least 128 MB in order to run it toram. With DSL-N probably 256MB.

You got me wrong. ;)

I want my system not to eject my CD on reboot / shutdown. ;)

And yes. I know toram boot command. But how to make it default?
If I boot remotely I would like it to load into ram automatically/by default.

Hi,
sorry for the misunderstanding

in order to do what you want at best, I would really consider a frugal install with grub. You can then start DSL remotly, you don't need a CD and you can edit grub in order to have DSL toram at each boot.

Otherwise, I think it is impossible to do what you say with the live-CD without remastering (a lot of threads in the forum related to the script mkmydsl) it in order to profile the boot line as you want to. In my machine, DSL 2.4 don't eject the CD when I shut down or reboot my machine, so you maybe can try it.

The eject problem occurs only when DSL isn't loasded to RAM...
Well. I'll try to find solution to this.

And why I'd like to use Live CD wihtout any kind of install is beacause I'm currently 'developing' nice DSL server based on protability. Only thing you need is DSL cd and usb memory stick with server settings.
Well... I could burn my own server DSL CD, but then it would lack all the features future DSL relases could offer...

Loading automatically to RAM isn't that neccessary. I just have to find that script that ejects cd.
