I am new to linux and to DSL.

I had to use the failsafe option inorder to get My dell box to boot.

The desktop will not display unless I use the failsafe option, after it starts the xserver I get a blank screen.

I did a hd install that I managed to get working at the expense of my windows xp partition and all the information on it, a tough lesson learned.

I have a winmodem and wont be buying a hardware modem anytime soon, but I want to build apon what information I have by downloading pieces of software for it at a time.

For now I would like to know how to save the settings that alllowed the xserver to work when I selected the failsafe option.

thanks

one booted copy the bootlocal.sh to your filetool.list and save the file to list to your restore partition if your a live disk user,
if your a hd install copying it to your xserverrc file should mean it boots like this each time, but it should have stored your settings anyway.....

could you give more specific instructions.
Let me see if I got it right.

Add it to filetool.list just by adding the line? Or is there a path to it?
bootlocal.sh

And this xserverrc I will look in to this later as well.
