Re: [ilugd] Problem saving configuration!
hi, thats right narsingh, the command-line param is myconf=scan (only when someone has made a persistent home) myconfig=/mnt/hdaX' (x=1,2,3... depends) otherwise. but that doesnt seem to restore the complete settings. in particular the xvrefresh rate is not restored, nor is the desktop setting (including the wallpaper - which got me thinking about this). regards Anuj From: Narsingh Sahu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ilugd] Problem saving configuration!
