I've just installed DSL on an old Presario 1621 and it runs great.  I also did the Frugal install so my wife could use the laptop without the CD.  My problem comes when you boot up it always prompts for FB settings, I have to choose fb800x600 and then it opens the xsetup window.  I don't mind entering these every time, but my wife hates it.  Can I make these setting permanent with the Frugal install?
Thanks in advance, and please remember I'm such a nubie that I only just now figured out how to navigate the Linux file structure.

I'm no expert but I think I had same issue. I hit the backup button in the control panel. On restart these boot settings( e.g. fb800x600 ) were remembered, as well as mouse, screen resolution, etc. Backup asks for location and I chose same as install location ( e.g. hda1 for me ).
Check it out.

Except I'm on a full, not frugal, hard drive install. So what would I know? The HELP in the control panel also describes how to save settings.

When setting up your frugal install did you set up any paramaters for mydsl, home, opt, backup/restore etc?

I was not prompted for any settings.  I just loaded the beta when this started happening.  1.5 only prompted for the Frame Buffer settings.
