I've now managed to connect DSL to my Samba server, I can manage it from my Vectorlinux box via VNC and XMMS is playing all my music from the Samba share.

So now I need to figure out how to automate all this.

How can I create an image where the VNC and Samba .dsl files are already included?

How can I create an image where the root user have a password?

How can I create an image where the VNC server is started on boot?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction..

If they were both installed via mydsl, you can easily rebuild the ISO including these apps by using the mkmydsl script.

How can I create an image where the root user have a password?
Either type in "secure" at the boot prompt, or setup a password with the passwd command and backup /etc/shadow. The backup can be added to the ISO in the same way as mydsl apps.

How can I create an image where the VNC server is started on boot?
Add the command(s) to one of your startup scripts and back up that script along with the other files. Deciding which script to use would depend on when you want to start the server and who you want to start it.

1. use mkmydsl.

2. use the dsl secure cheatcodes, create a backup that includes /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow, and include that backup in you mkmydsl remaster as something like zzmyconfig.dsl

3. add the commands to start the vnc server to /opt/bootlocal.sh, and use the backup process I described above.

What's /etc/gshadow? I back up just shadow and it seems to work, at least for what I've done so far.
