Daniel, thanks for you interest. I refer to Damn Small Linux specific backup/restore script (called filetool.sh) that backs up critical files from your home directory and the system and tars them into a specified partition (/dev/sda1 for example). Otherwise when you shut down the system all data are lost. More info here: http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_save_my_settings.3F Note that is different from the Knoppix "home=some_device" hack, as it does not create a persistent home directory and does not wear out a flash memory (think of a browser's cache files and you'll get the idea). > The mydsl extensions are not needed, you > just can install > additional debian packages. Well, I don't expect that you take a package manager from a distro and inject it into DLS but the question is: once you install a debian package, that will reside in /usr/bin. How do you reclaim that package after rebooting? Mydsl extensions are like 'klik' or Linspire's CNR: click and run, and they reside in a mountable optional directory. These extensions are loaded as cloops. Now, I know you don't like cloops and regard them as cheap hacks but, one way or another, it is a solution that deserves consideration.
