I tried both "failsafe" and "dsl dma" and didn't have any luck with the cpu usage.  Strangely the only time it dipped under 100 percent was when I opened an application.  Accidentally typed "foolsafe" which afterward seemed appropriate, but that didn't help either.  Dsl-4.0 works great on my old pentium III laptop, though.

I forgot to add that in the case of the "failsafe" cheatcode I got dumped to the limited shell because Knoppix couldn't be found. "DMA"  just still had the high cpu usage.

For many the 100% cpu usage was caused by Xvesa, could you try Xfbdev?

(boot with "dsl xsetup" and select Xfbdev)

With the removal of Xtdesk, could you please also remove /usr/X11R6/bin/emelfm (renaming emelfm.bin)?
The wrapper is apparently no longer needed, yet it still prevents the use of a directory argument on the command unless you call emelfm.bin

Will do. Thanks for reminding me, as the wrapper at the moment is completely commented out, except, of course the call to its .bin
