User Feedback :: Why do I still do regular HD installs of DSL?

I figured it out... Frugal really is the way to go.

I only ever did one HD install when I first found out about DSL cos I thought it might give me the same thrill that BEOS did (way back then). It did not.

I did a Debian style hard drive install the first time, and after that it's only been Frugal. It just works.

I have a question. I have a frugal install and load in a myDSL application that has a config file in /etc. I attempt to save the config file by adding it to .filetool.lst. When I reboot, and my backup is restored is the config file overwritten by the expansion of the of the application (e.g. <app>.dsl) with the default config file in the myDSL package?

Your backup is loaded last so the file you backed up will overwrite the original file from the app. It should work just fine.
