Works nice, thx. Your module is resetting Xorg after first boot so keyboard works normal, no problem with arrows keys like in vanilla S7.

I have installed Porteus with various WMs as modules like your ydrv. In Porteus i have switch load=module so i can to boot to another WM directly from syslinux.

Code: Select all

label 7a
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=openbox copy2ram

label 7b
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=mate copy2ram

label 7c
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=xfce copy2ram

label 7d
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=kde copy2ram

label 7e
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=cinnamon copy2ram

label 7f
	kernel /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/porteus/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz load=lxde copy2ram

Is there similar switch in Puppy?

I think that i can do something like this?:

Code: Select all

# JWM
label 1e
	kernel /slacko64-700/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/slacko64-700/initrd.gz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=slacko64-700 pfix=fsck
# LXDE
label 1f
	kernel /slacko64-700/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/slacko64-700/initrd.gz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=slacko64-700 pfix=fsck ydrv=sda1:/slacko64-700/lxde/ydrv_slacko64_7.0.sfs

It works. I can boot to JWM or LXDE but in LXDE Slacko doesn't recognize my modem. This is strange because during boot i have messages about loading all three sfs: fzy.

Do the sfs modules load in a fixed row, e.g. alphabetical: fyz or y should be last loaded?

Order is not alphabetical - fzya - but is displayed in the boot messages
