but DSL typically runs only one

That's why I asked, it's there, you just can't use it without the mod.

Backgrounding X isn't an ideal thing to do

Can't say I'm experienced enough with linux to fully understand the implications, but from my testing there appears to be no difference from the gui point of view, and it seems to happily swap F1 to F2 back and forth.

I didn't mean to imply that you were doing anything wrong, it's just that backgrounding an application like X, and then running other tasks in the same virtual terminal, may interfere with what you're doing. Any messages printed from X or applications running in X that aren't being redirected will be printed to your terminal (as I understand it, anyway), and may interfere with what you are doing in the terminal. It probably won't cause problems, but may be distracting.

Syslogd is started in /opt/bootlocal.sh which is the last thing that gets loaded before the login prompt on hd install. And X is by default started in tty1.

And to a suggestion: in hd-install, why other tty's than 1 also start x after loggin in? That's what desktops are for.. Roberts, more stuff for you to do, the default behavior could be changed here to start x on tty1, but console on others..
