Installation works, but when I out it back in the target maschine, I fall back in the xsetup.
I choose the fb thing, but it returns to use the previos resulution :-(
the xsetup.sh returns with fatal error: connection refused by server....

6.2

I ran the check programm from the Thinkpads easy setup, which says the screen is OK

meanwhile I try the way you suggest and another one:
copying the KNOPPIX dir to hda1, boot with floppy and at promt:
fb800x600 knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda1

same problem

I get an error message at the very beginning of the boot, says something about passind the wrong video mode and I'm to select one, but this seams only to have something to do with the font at boot time...

when I automaticly get into the xsetup of dsl, and I choose fb, I get not asked for the resolution, is this corect?

Thanks for patience...

You don't need to type both fb800x600 and knoppix
That explains why it didn't work. If you typed that, it will use the latter, i.e., knoppix, i.e., not framebuffer, i.e, video mode 791 not what you want.. You want framebuffer video mode 788

Here try this. It is the easiest way to install to hard drive.
boot:fb800x600 2
That will boot only to a root prompt, no X windows nothing but minimum root prompt. Then type:
dsl-hdinstall
