.....but the only way that anything is stored over a reboot is by doing a backup so you need to select & carry out the backup to store the information over a reboot that you do not want a backup to take place!
Heh. So true. In fact I had hd installs in mind, but still wrote livecd. Oh well.

Using fluxbox, the background image I choose doesn't stay on, instead, when I restart X, I see the background image that comes with pristine boot.

Be sure your .xinitrc is updated.
That you have a .fluxbox.inc in /home/dsl
Use wallpaper.ua

Works fine for me!

[EDIT]

I see that some styles in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles have backgrounds    
hardcoded images and/.or emblems.

So here we are again in trying to support too many different systems  
and which has control over the background.

I really need to simplfy. We cannot have theme changers when so many different programs want to control certain features and allow switching back and forth between window managers.


[EDIT2]
Copy your desired fluxbox style to .fluxbox/styles (i.e., home directory)
Edit out the rootCommand
From fluxbox menu select edited style
Then the standard options to set wallpaper work as expected.

Other option: Use only fluxbox features to edit rootCommand in desired style as appropriate.



When I a backup I see that it writes:
Backing up files to /mnt/xxx mounted on /dev/xxx
I think it should be the opposite.

Hi,

I have noticed that /etc is not set to group staff on the default frugal grub install and boot.  I am having to put some extentions in optional then load them later durring the boot after changing ownership.  

Would this be an easy fix or not or should I post more details of my work-around.

Thanks So Much
