Hi ! I finally Installed DSL on my computer, with FRUGAL & GRUB.
But I have some questions : 1) How do you create root/users ?

2) Does the system still running from the FAT32 D:/Knoppix/knoppix ? If so, what is the point of installing the system from the ( in my case ) dsl-3.0.iso ? When I start the system after the frugal_install.sh script, I'm not going to any installation. It just starts loading the system from the partition ( hda5 ) where I put the .iso to make the installation.

Thank you for helping me, I'm a bit confused with it.

Question I:
I don't understand if you want configure many users or if you ask how to login with user or root permission.

Question II:
Right Godzilla, the Frugal Hard Disk Installation boot from the CD compressed image on a hard drive partition and the operative system is loaded in RAM memory.
The difference regarding boot either from Live CD or the KNOPPIX file is that DSL boot using the boot loader installed on hard disk. Also you can have permanent directories on the hard disk but install not all directories as in a Full Hard Disk Installation.
The Frugal Install is recommended instead the Full Installation because DSL was thought to be used from Live CD (No from hard disk) then you can save from many possible problems with the Frugal Installation.
