Is there some way for avoiding:
a) the need to pass cheatcodes at booting start i.e lang=es vga=normal dma enhance etc
b) detection process
I have my dsl installed on hd (with dsl-hdinstall) and I think that (as in knoppix) once installed the booting procces should use same parameters that was used at installation time

All of the options you append after `knoppix' when you boot need to be added to /etc/lilo.conf

append="lang=es,vga=normal,dma,enhance,etc"

Yesterday I tried it, and seems to be ok, but refuses vga=
said that can't accept vga=
Another question: dsl add its own append line, if I append cheatcodes the line becomes very long, is possible use another append line or cut append line into 2 or more?

I believe it all needs to be on one line but, is that really a problem? I mean, how often will you open lilo.conf to admire your boot string.
