Hello.
Here's the problem.
I'd like tu personnalize my Damn Small Linux 1.5
And my only problem is wallpaper !
I know command xsri wallpaper.png which works with no pb.
But how can I put this wallpaper at each boot automaticatly?
I tried to put the line xsri wallpaper.png in the /home/dsl/.xinitrc but that dont work good.
where can I replace the fractal image by mine?

Thanks.

Place your image in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds. Then go to Desktop->Wallpapers and change your background. If you have /home/dsl/.fluxbox in your filetool.lst it should be saved.

explanation:
Your background is set in Fluxbox from within whatever style you choose, or from $HOME/.fluxbox/init. If you add a command to set the background in .xinitrc then it will just get overridden when fluxbox loads (at the end of .xinitrc). Setting the background with the wallpaper gui, as clivesay suggested, adds the xsri command to .fluxbox/init. This takes priority over commands in individual styles, so you will have this background no matter what style you choose.
