/etc/bootlocal.sh ......... once you are booted to a functioning desktop add to filetool.list....
your settings are then used every boot.......

if its hd these settings should be saved....

I believe there is an IRC channel, but last I visited, there was noone there. Maybe we should have people idling in there? I dont even remember what the channel is right now, but it's the default channel when you first open nIRC.

As for an FAQ, there's SO much to explain in an FAQ for damn small that I feel the best FAQ is the search function on this forum.

It took me quite a while to find that.

Even then I dont think thats the right place.

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
/sbin/syslogd

What I did was edit /etc/lilo.conf and added these options to append

append=" nosmp noagp "

The nosmp option stopped the error : Only One Processor Detected
The noagp option allowed the xserver to boot. And since I didnt use failsafe my mouse wheels started to work.

Then ran
nano /usr/sbin/lilo_something_cant_rember
and also
/sbin/lilo

and it updated lilo. I also created a boot message saying to chose the second option to get to windows

boot/bootmess.txt
which I created in nano.

By the way I get a new error now it says that I supplied an invalid argument for the display and askes me to give a correct one and shows a list of values like
80x60
...
for the colum width and colum height. Is there any way that I can get around this automatically?

thanks
