roberts,

Thanks for that suggestion.  Your idea can be very useful for embedding changes across DSL versions.

FYI, I was also able to achieve the same result by setting the default runlevel to 3 in /etc/inittab.

Regards,

I don't promote that kind of change for the following reason. One of the strengths of DSL is that it represents a complex unit that can be upgraded enmasse, with all local customization kept completely separate (not intermixed with the "installed" files)

roberts,

I understand your point and agree with you.  However, this first implementation is a "proof-of-concept" done with essentially no budget (thus mostly on my own time) with the stated objective of not using a hard disk.  Once proven, I will probably look into packaging into a .dsl or .tar.gz that can be migrated between DSL versions.
