Frugal -  seemed a lot less hassle. The DSM is seriously neat. It's
actually an eBox-3850. You can buy them for about $250. Add a pen drive
and you're ready. I paid extra for mine 'cos I bought it through DSL -
seemed an appropriate way of saying thank-you. 

I tried doing a toram install but the system went into molasses mode
even before I scanned my music and even after I commented out
SoftSqueeze. I then tried doing a tohd install onto a second pen drive
with the intention of eventually doing it to a compact flash drive
inside the machine. It worked fine but I realised it didn't really gain
me much (anything?), so I ended up doing neither. Currently my boot
command looks like:

APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init 2 lang=us apm=power-off
vga=791 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic nosound quiet frugal
restore=sda2 mydsl= ssh BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

On the principle of "if you're going to use a sledgehammer, make it a
big one" :)

I looked at executing passwd in S99bootlocal but that's even uglier. So
I think I'll go with your suggestion and just do the whole of /etc.

Many thanks for all your work on SlimCD.

Steve.
