I have used sleepers ISO to hack my DSR7000.

I want to install some additional hacks manually, but which file in the tivi should I modify with the linuc commands so that every time that the system boots up the commands are followed.

Do I modify the rc.sysinit.author file and hex edit it with joe editor with the commands that I want to install.

Next time - search before you post. This is probably the most basic question out there.

To answer your question (reluctantly) yes. Tha tis the right file. Next time search.

There is no hex editing involved. It's a text file in Unix format. The joe editor installed by Sleeper's ISO does not work as is without editing the rc.sysinit.author file so you'll have to find another means to edit it. It's easy to transfer the file via FTP and then edit it on your PC using TextPad and then save it in Unix format. Transfer the file back after backing up your existing rc.sysinit.author file and then make the new file executable (chmod 755 rc.sysinit.author). Verify that you have set the permissions correctly (ls -l) and then reboot for the new changes to take effect).

Joe will work just fine without needing to edit any boot scripts, just make a symbolic link from /var/etc/hack (I think thats it) to the actual location of joerc and bam it works.

If you want it to work all the time you can then add the line to create the link to your rc.sysinit.author.
