Hi ! My probem with the HD install was solved just installing the dsl-3.0-syslinux.iso instead of the normal ones. Now, I have to get working the touchscreen. So now I'm going to install xfree86.dsl, because I heard that the touchscreen will work with it. Now, after following the "manual extension install", what should I do to change the actual X for the new xfree86 ? And, what is the file that I have to edit to get the touchscreen working ? Another little question : I have no icons on my desktop, what happens ? Thank you and hope to get help as soon as possible.

See the .info

>> And, what is the file that I have to edit to get the touchscreen working ?
Probably /etc/X11/XFree86Config - depending on what device you are using, you'll might need to get different drivers.
google gives: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/XFree86-Touch-Screen-HOWTO/

>> Another little question : I have no icons on my desktop, what happens ?
This has been answered around the forums, and the way to do it depends on your DSL version afaik.
