it seems i've done something wrong... i don't obtain any success in having .dsl in subfolders appear anywhere but emelfm.

Is the location of the S02dsl-config file mandatory ? as i couldn't do a copy to /etc/rc5.d/S02dsl-config... (even as root, but i'm a live-cd user)

and are there any part of the original script that should be removed ? if yes, could you tell me wich part (and also, i've done editing by cuting and pasting from this topic shown by opera, to scite, are these the appropriate programs to do it)

well, the above questions may seem dumb and poorly written, please forgive the french linux newbie that i am.
and thanks a lot for your answers

yes it must be in /etc/rc5.d/S02dsl-config.

when DSL (linux) start if first runs all scripts in /etc/rcS.d then it goes to runleven 5 and runs all scripts in /etc/rc5.d

now first /etc/rcS.d/S02dsl-config is run this loads all *.dsl from the root (including S02dsl-config.dsl)
then it runs the newly loaded /etc/rcS.d/S02dsl-config wich loads all *.dsl you specify in the bootparam mydsl_dir=(/dir1 /dir2)

yes you can not copy to /etc/...
i am a poor man's install user and cant copy to /etc/.. to
you have to copy to /ramdisk/etc/...
if you create the *.dsl you use /etc/...

maybe we can fint a way so i can send you my S02dsl-config.dsl?

very helpfull hints indeed...

with quality answers like yours, i likely won't stay a newbie for long (that's a good thing :cool:

)
i'll be glad if you sent me the .dsl by mail (i've enabled it today)
but i keep thinking that it should find it's way in the repository.

I dont think it should be part of the extension repositoty.
if it is a usefull patch it could be part of a next version of DSL.
until this hapens i will use the patch to enable me to have multiple DSL configurations on one partition ( i use poor man's install and grub bootloader)
