I am working with chrisb on this post.  Thanks for the help so far.  roberts: I put nodhcp in the list of deamons to use in Frugal Install. On boot up there was no dhcp.

Also during Frugal Install I selected no restore partition so that I could select Xvesa and Enhanced desktop. As I will in the end be using no keyboard and mouse, this was the way I found to get DSL to boot and get straight into the desktop. I still need to use the back up partition.

What does the myDSL partition do and can I have it the same as a restore partition?

Now that I have got the nodhcp working I will now go and work on the restore part.

Thanks

Alison

The myDSL and restore partition can be the same partition. myDSL partition is for the extensions, abiword, firefox, etc.

Usually, one uses the backup partition to save system settings, which normally includes the xserver type and enhanced or not. So, select restore partition and setup system by chosing the x server. Then edit .xinitrc to start enhance. Then backup. Later then without the keyboard you will have the desired result.

If all these machines/devices are the same, you could make a myXsetup.tar.gz and use the myDSL system and that will automaticlly load at boot up.
