I just registered here. I downloaded the usb dsl and think it's terrific. I do have a few suggestions if possible.

1) is there a way to make the screen bigger and set it to default.

2) I can't seem to get to the hard drive on the laptop /computer when I try to the 'unmount' button on the bottom right corner I get a dialog box that says something about the file system type.  I tried going into the /KNOPPIX directory and changing to the /mnt to mount the hard drive but I can't seem to locate it.  I didn't see it in the /auto directory.  Sorry this must be a no brainer I just can't see it.

3) I'd like to be able to use a few tools like a) nmap, b) tcpdump, c) airsnort, d) sleuthkit, e) metasploit if possible.  I think if I can get to the harddrive I can download the tools and use them from there but I just can't get to the hd.

If this is already available I'd really appreciate a url where I can just download it.

Thanks

1. do you mean resolution?  run xsetup.sh

2. scroll around in the mount tool to select the device (if supported) before clicking mount

3. I think there are some  extensions for them - check mydsl.  Or else you could always get them elsewhere.

I got the xsetup.sh to work but it didn't seem make a difference. Maybe I have to restart DSL Linux.

I have no idea what the mount tool is, so I can't test anything.  If the little box that's in a pinkish red on the bottom right of my DSL screen is the mount box then I can't do anything with it.

If I right click it give me an "Error: mount: you must specify the filesystem type" HOW?

If I left click I get the same error message.

Again HOW do you specify the filesystem type?

When I open a root shell and go to /KNOPPIX/mnt

there is an 'hd' now but when I try to 'mount -a hd' I get something about it not being in fstab.

and I checked the mydsl and opened up most of the tabs/buttons and got nothing but a blank dialogbox.

Thanks but this idiot was looking for something a little more straight forward.

I can get it to open somethings and i do find it very useful. I just would like to use it a little differently than a virtual desktop.

run ` ls -l /mnt/hd* ` and paste your output.

hd itself is unused I believe, just an empty dir.

yes, that would be the mount tool.  Try another device.  To manually specify the fs, you can use mount -t <type> but it's most likely a filesystem that DSL doesn't recognize - or is the device even formatted?

Output of `fdisk -l` could be helpful as well.
Also `cat /etc/fstab`.

I wonder if he is running Qemu? But with the Wiki calling the Qemu version the USB version which is wrong! And with his statements of:
Not full screen and no access to local drives? We can only guess. Still posted in wrong place and not clear what version of DSL?
What happened to that post "How to ask a Question"
