This was a DSLinux box to start with?
If so was it a HDD install, Frugal Install, Poormans Install, or ?
If you did a typical debian HDD install then your work could be tedious, I'd probably try something like backing up all my important data by booting in from a dsl cd and burning the files or moving them across the network then reinstalling DSLinux
If however you did a Frugal Install then its a quick and painless restore of the boot partition usually hda1 and letting the install script rebuild your lilo or grub file.
boot from cd at prompt "dsl frugal"
or if you need to reinstall your frugal image
boot from your cd then type "dsl vga=xxx 2"(xxx being your cheatcode press F3 to find out what your xxx value is.
!!The following commands will DESTROY ALL DATA ON HDXX!!
!!Proceed With Extreme Caution!!
if your using ext3 mke2fs -j /dev/hdxx to format your frugal install partition, or if your using ext2 mke2fs /dev/hdxx
now that your partition is formatted you can run the frugal install script.
for a LiLo install type /usr/sbin/frugal_install.sh
for GRUB type /usr/sbin/frugal_grub.sh
follow prompts be sure to remember to give opt=hdxx home=hdxx wherever your persistent locatioins were the first time you set this up.
GL and hope this was of some use, if not then keep trying, and be sure to start googling your outputs.
