Quote:1)is there a way to disable services so that DSL boots faster?
There should be. Try "chkconfig --list" to see if that brings up a list of services. I don't know what distro DSL is based upon, but see if that command lists services - if so, "chkconfig --level 345 SERVICENAME off" will turn that service off for run-levels 3,4 and 5 (for instance).
Quote:2) also is there a way to create my own keyboard map?
Yup - firstly, use "echo $TERM" to see what kind of terminal you're using (will probably be "vt100" or "Linux"). Key mappings are in /etc/termcap, although from the sound of it you want to configure XMMS to use keyboard shortcuts to control it, rather than try to control the underlying OS.
In terms of shutting down, you may want to configure the OS to hibernate from a keypress, so you can just hit a shutdown keystroke and let it suspend, bringing it out of suspend when you power back up. Just a thought - I don't know how to do it in DSL meself.
Hope that helps!
