I want to know how I can get DSL to run an FTP server on bootup, because i plan on using an old box as a file server. I know how to run commands on startup, but what is the command to start the FTP deamon by shell?

Also I would like to get synergy going on a computer, I would also like this to startup with the computer, otherwise it would be quite annoying. (see http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=7999 ) But this requires X -does this mean I need to change the boot commands or is it the same? -provided I even get X going, its not looking good...

Cheers, Oscar

ftp server:
/usr/sbin/betaftpd from /opt/bootlocal.sh
If dsl fails to log in after this, the daemon might not be loading in the background. Most daemons do, but i'm not sure about betaftpd. If this is the case, add '&' after the command.

If you need synergy to start automatically, add it to /home/dsl/.xinitrc, before the fluxbox command. It will start when X starts. The '&' is most likely needed for this one.

Thanks, you've really saved me a whole lot of messing around.

But unfortunatly it may be some time before i can relay the results of these operations as i wrote over my HDD's MBR and thats just where it starts to get annoying, because i require a third party MBR to boot from CD's...

It will take me a couple of hours work, but I have school work and regular work to do aswell - this is but a side-project

thanks for your help, hopefully i can get back sometime soon (or end up with some $$$ anyway...)

... so one HDD later (I just got toooo pissed off when it started registering 1/3 its size...) and i am trying to install synergy.

The ftp on startup doent seem to work I blame the network not configuring, but i will sort it out.

Now, i have un-zipped synergy and I think I have installed Xfree86 (but it looks the same?! -this has GOT to be wrong..., well no errors...) So i am trying to "configure" the "make" of synergy.

...

15 minutes later and i am getting an error that I "need the XTest library to install Synergy"

What is this, how do I get it -is any of this correct?

I am really not too sure X is installed, it looks like fluxbox to me, is this because i am running the vesa driver?

somebody help please...

The x servers don't look any different at all. If you followed the instructions fully, with the .xserverrc and XF86Config changes, you should now be running XFree86.
You do not, however, have X headers installed (unless you installed them separately). These headers are required for compiling X programs.
