That is what I am currently doing which works perfectly well, I just thought it to be odd that changing the VGA properties would affect the way the shutdown procedure is handled.

No, I noticed that this happened earlier before I installed the xtrlock, I just never got around to asking about it and kept the cheatcode as VGA=normal.
As far as RAM goes, I am currently using 512k which is more than enough for DSL. I am using a remaster of DSL 3.3 though I still had the problem with DSL 3.3
I did a few more tests, the backup is working, its just not showing any output text as it does when I use VGA=normal. I'm still not sure about the unmounting of filesystems, since I am not getting any messages and I am using a frugal install.
I also noticed that it seems to be working now  I'm not sure why though, I haven't changed anything, but I do remember that the screen sat there with the line "preparing to reboot" for about 10 minutes before I did a hard reset, and would do the same thing when I wanted to power off except it said "DSL halted"
well if there is no problem now then I guess this has become a moot topic.
Thank you for your replys.
