Is there a file i can edit to force DSL embedded to start up in text mode, instead of going to X on startup? I really have no need for the windowing environment, but when i exit it and try to use just the plain console mode Qemu seems to become unresponsive.

Thanks

edit dsl-windows.bat (or dsl-linux.sh) depending on where ur running from.

edit this line:
Code Sample
START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -enable-audio -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet"


to this:
Code Sample
START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -enable-audio -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet 2"


which will boot into runlevel 2 with no x.

This is where I'd add boot options, too, right?  

I want to add 'dsl toram'.  Where do I insert it?

thx,
Mike

bump

Am I misunderstanding this?  On a machine with adequate memory, wouldn't this be a good idea?
