1) Not have to manually enter those commands at the grub prompt.
|
Open your /mnt/hdc1/boot/grub/menu.list file AS ROOT,
and make it look like this...

default 0
timeout 10
title DSL
root (hd2,0)
kernel /boot/linux24 quiet vga=normal noapm noacpi noscsi frugal dma
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz
|
You can also add other options to your kernel line, like 'host=whatever',
'toram' ( if you have 128MB ram or more), 'secure' ( for passwords )
See your f2 and f3 options at boottime when booting from your cdrom
for more options..

2) Not have to answer those questions during the boot process.
|
Before a shutdown, make a backup to hdc1..
From right/click menu, choose System > Backup/Restore
and put ' hdc1 ' in the textbox.
The backup process copies almost everything in your /home/dsl dir
to the backup.tar.gz .. the key file to save is called /home/dsl/.xserverrc
Upon reboot, your backup should restore automatically.
You could also add the option "restore=hdc1' at boottime,
to select it, if you had a backup in more than one location.
It's been a while since I played with doing this, and selecting
something besides hd0 to boot from in my bios..
Let us know how it goes..
