I have installed DSL to my flashdrive by typing "install" as a boot option. syslinux boots it fine i get to the DSL boot screen where I can choose to run DSL with options or not. If I just press enter(to run it without any options) X never seams to start. The screen is just black. Any ideas?

Try adding:

vga=normal

to your boot command line

that doesnt come with success either.

Note: I have an nForce4 chipset which i heard has problems with X and Fluxbox. I have tried the remedies the thread provided, but still got nowhere. I also have the same issues with the live cd.
