Has anyone gotten the full X.org on DSL after removing xvesa on a DSL remaster. I posted before about needing this. It has to be on a LiveCD though.

I'm in the middle of trimming down a Knoppix 3.4 (5/04/2004), but its a long slow process finding all the big packages. I also have to fix some stuff in apt/sources.list that point to germany (.de) and some repositories that don't work. I've removed about 800MB to 1GB by pulling out kde and gtk and a bunch of games. Still a lot to look for and some xinit to change. :angry:

I'm creating a myDSL extension to allow X to be used.

When I tried to load x-windows before, I had to enter a lot of information about my system to get it to work (mouse, video, screen refresh rates). DSL seems to know these things and sets them up automatically. Is there a way to load x-windows so I can have it configure itself?

How were you planning on making the liveCD? Have you been able to use the method that uses a copy of the KNOPPIX directory and the chroot and mount proc commands?

I was able to add it to a liveCD. What I did was:

create a source directory

cp -Rp /KNOPPIX source
chroot source/KNOPPIX
mount -t proc /proc proc
dpkg-restore
<edit /etc/apt/sources.list to unstable>
apt-get update
apt-get install x-windows-system
umount proc
<CTRL-D>

Then make you liveCD remaster in the normal way. That method never worked for me before, but it seems to work now.

The only caveat was that when I rebooted my system using the liveCD with x-windows, a password box flashed up, but then went away.
