Good day to all -

Just wanted to add a bit of a postscript particularly for roberts and
mikshaw:  The rebuild of the bootfloppy I've been using to get
into DSL on USB was all it took - should have done that up
front, but I'd have not guessed the necessity until problems
arose.

I'm working just perfectly now on an old Toshiba laptop,
133Mhz CPU with only 32M of RAM!! However, DSL3.0RC2 *does*
have a LOT more horsepower than the zipslack I've been using!
Have been on it all day - poking around here and there, comparing
it to some of the older flavors of DSL I had been using.

Many thanks for you guys' help - AND for the work you're doing
to bring DSL to life. Yet another fine tool along with QEMU
puppy, and Mepis.... :-]

Just did a grubbed "fresh" frugal install, after renaming my old home and opt for backup purposes.
Now I can't seem to get to grub's menu.list; from what I recall, it should be an SU access from the install mount, which in my case is hda5.  But no matter what I do, nothing shows up under hda5??  In SU EmelFM, SU Beaver, nothing shows up, but I definitely installed to hda5.  And have booted from this install.
Thoughts / theories / tips??

Hi,
you have to mount hda5 (in emelfm select your drive at /mnt/hda5, right click and choose mount), and then you can edit menu.lst by typing in a shell as root:

/mnt/hda5/boot/grub/menu.lst

Modify it, save, unmount hda5, reboot.

yours

Man, you guys move so fast!  Amazing progress.

firefox issues --
- died every time I tried to view this link
- killing the leftover firefox processes resulted in zombies
- removing the firefox lock file did not allow me to start the browser

I have mounted hda5, and nothing shows up.  Haven't tried the second thing you wrote yet (laptop is downstairs and shut down, and it's 1 in the morning), but after mounting via the mount app nothing shows in emelfm, both normal and SU, and SU beaver also shows nothing in hda5.
