Hello, I have a Frugal install on a Compact Flash card, and it boots fine on my system. The problem is, I would like the system to boot right into X without asking the questions about the mouse/keyboard/resolution every time, because the system is keyboard less. Is there someway I can pre-define these settings so it will boot right into X?

Thanks.  :cool:

Maybe if you use DSL's backup/restore - the relevant file for the X-Vesa setup is /home/dsl/.xserverrc   (did you notice the period?).
Or you go for a persistent /home dir ? I don't know if this is possible with compact flash - at least you need a 2nd partition for that. In the bootloader's config you have to add the kernel boot parameter home=hda5 (e.g.).

Edit your bootloader config file and remove the word "xsetup" from your append line.

Then rerun your bootloader program.

Hi
I did a grub frugal install to cf and then edited the menu.lst file to make fb1024x768 the default.  It now never asks me to do the setup.
good luck
