1. Well livecd is a type of frugal... depends on what you chose during install (run `mount` and paste the output here if possible) 2. I believe theres a dialup tool in DSLPanel - but I haven't touched dial-up in a very long time.no to your #1, earlier. a Frugal install is a Hard drive install of the contents of the CD image, unchanged except for the bootloader stuff. It loads and backs up settings and home dir the same way as a cdrom boot.
Not that you need this necessarily, just a clarification. Your bootloader menu.lst (for grub) is the place to specify boot options. try looking for it in /boot/grub (though I don't know where it gets put in a hard drive install).Re #1: not necessarily just restricted to hard drives :PHello,
the file for the bootoptions is in
/boot/grub/menu.lst
i changed it with:
- sudo -s - beaver - open the file, reaarenged the entries and saved it. Works fine...
If I'm running "mount" it says:
/dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw.... /proc on ... /dev/pts on ... /proc/bus/usb on ...
And. yes, there is a dialup script in teh DSLPanel, it works fine for me, but I always have to choose the "provider" and push dialup. Would be nice to do this with a button on the desktop.

After setting up your dialup you can use the command "sudo pon" to connect to provider, and "sudo pon <whatever>" if your script is named something other than "provider". The command "sudo poff" will disconnect.
You can create a desktop icon or hotkey combo to connect/disconnect more easily.Next Page...
