Hi everibody!
I need to build an USB installation to be booted on a geexbox machine to do file configuration via SSH:
- SSH daemon should be run at startup;
- a password for SSH access must be set;
- I need only a file editor (nano), so windows manager isn't necessary;
Anyone can help?

boot with: dsl ssh secure
Back up /etc/shadow using the backup tool

If you don't want X, you can remove startx from the startup scripts.

Note: you can probably edit your boot options in syslinux.cfg

Back up /etc/shadow using the backup tool

Login with the options you suggested is ok but, as a DSL newbie, I cannot understand how to use backuop tools! I boot from usb, open DSLpanel and click on "Backup/restore" button, and then? if I enter /etc/shadow I get a "invalid path" error.
Thx for your help!

I red it, but I can't understand  :(
Do I have to add /etc/shadow to .filetool.lst?
And when backup tool ask for bkp path, how can I tell him to backup to the pendrive?
