General
If i have a question where can i ask for help?
First of all try reading through the Documentation on this site to see if there is anything relating to your question. Most of the programs included in X-DSL are not Xbox specific so general Linux websites/application websites may also yield useful infomation, depending on your query. Although there are no "official" X-DSL forums most X-DSL discussion goes on at the Xbox-Scene *nix OS on Xbox Forum (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showforum=22).
Will X-DSL have any Instant Messaging Programs added to it in the near future?
There are no immediate plans for this. The more changes we make from Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org) the harder it is port improvements made in Damn Small Linux back into X-DSL. As far as I'm aware there are no lightweight instant messaging programs available (GAIM requires GTK2, AMSN requires Tcl/Tk) so adding one would have a big effect on X-DSL's size. There is no reason that instant messaging programs cannot be made available as extensions/installed via apt.
How do you stop the virtual keyboard from appearing when X-DSL starts?
The file /home/dsl/.xinitrc controls what programs are loaded when the X Server starts. Find the line that starts:
/usr/bin/X11/xvkbd -no-keypad -geometry -140-260 &>/dev/null &
and change it to:
#/usr/bin/X11/xvkbd -no-keypad -geometry -140-260 &>/dev/null &
Note: In Linux files that begin with a '.' are normally hidden. To show hidden files in Emelfm hit the 'H' button at the top of the pane to the left of the current path.
How do I use the xpad as a joystick instead of a mouse?
If you want the xpad to function as a joystick load the joystick drivers by typing the following in a xterm:
sudo modprobe joydev
How do I setup X-DSL to use a static IP?
By default X-DSL tries to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. If this fails you can get X-DSL to use a static IP by adding the following cheatcode to your linuxboot.cfg:
eth0=ip,nm,dg,dns
where
ip = IP address nm = Subnet mask dg = Default gateway dns = DNS Server
More infomation on cheatcodes is available here.
How do I automatically mount partitions at boot?
One way of mounting a partition at boot is adding the mount command to the /opt/bootlocal.sh init script. For example to mount E (hda50) on boot add:
mount /dev/hda50
How do I mount the optical drive?
In most (all?) cases, the optical drive is /dev/hdb so you'll want to first create a mountpoint. I chose to do it like this:
sudo mkdir /mnt/optical
Then mount the drive:
sudo mount /dev/hdb /mnt/optical/
Then if you edit your /etc/fstab and follow the FAQ on automatically mounting partitions at boot (directly above), your optical drive will always be mounted.
I have multiple entries for X-DSL when booting. How do I remove these?
Everytime you install X-DSL an entry for that install will be added to your linuxboot.cfg. If you try to install multiple times you will end up with multiple entries in your linuxboot.cfg . The solution to this is simple - open E:\linuxboot.cfg (/mnt/E/linuxboot.cfg) in your favourite editor and remove the entries you no longer require. More infomation on the syntax of linuxboot.cfg can be found on the Xbox Linux Wiki (http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Cromwell#Linuxboot.cfg_syntax).
