Other Help Topics :: preserve ssh cert and user base across boots?

Good point. I was using version 4.4.2 which I thought symlinks to /etc/init.d. So replacing the symlink in /etc/rc6.d with one pointing to /etc/init.d may be the way to go for DSL 3.x. If I was going to reboot a live cd from a distance with any degree of regularity I would opt for the remaster if there is no option for a frugal or traditional HD install. Less risky. But these tricks could come in handy for an unplanned remote reboot.
