Hi - Linux and DSL is completely new to me - hope you can help. How do I get rdesktop to run automatically on startup?
I want to to run rdesktop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -f to turn old PC's into thin-terminals. I have found a few references in forums to xintirc, but don't know where this file is located and how to edit it.

Presumably if I run dsl in ramdisk mode I can burn this back to mini CR-R - is this true?

Open an xterminal window and type:

beaver /home/dsl/.xinitrc

Then add your command into the file and save it.

Don't forget to use the backup/restore process if you are not running from a full hd installed system.
