Apps :: Adding apps to backup



No....that would be very bad =o)

/cdrom is the partition on which DSL is installed, so anything you put there will stay as long as it is mounted (which it is by default).  In your case, /cdrom is most likely equivalent to /mnt/sda1
??? Sorry for my stupidity :( but what exactly i need to do for apps to be backed up arn restored(with icon on the desktop)
1 more Q  :p
I readed somwhere here to swithc to console i need to type ctrl+alt+backspace it works i am in console but how can i get back?
typing them agin doesn't work. And only thing that works is typing exit.but it puts me back just that i had booted(all progs closed and the howto showing up)

Thanks for waisting time with my stupid questions
:;): :)
The answer to how to get back to X is type "exit", if you want to get back without saving any changes, or "startx" if you want to go back to a restored desktop. ( I believe that's correct anyway) For the first part, I'm going to guess because I'm not in a place where I can test it right now. See in your filetool.lst the reference to /opt/bootlocal.sh? That file is a script that tells DSL what to run at boot time. Once you have saved your application, then you can open this bootlocal.sh script (as root) and put the path to that application in there and it will run at boot time.
Apps (at least mydsl and deb apps) are not backed up.  They are installed each time you boot.  I believe that was mentioned in the quotes i posted here.

Get back to X by typing "startx"

Seeing how you are not aware of fundamental commands such as "startx", you really should consider reading a little about the basics of Linux.

Hi all,

not sure if I'm supposed to start a new thread for this one but here is one quick question from me

I'm running DSL 1.5 HD install and I use mydsl to get several apps such as Opera, Xine, OpenOffice, Gaim, etc.... when I reboot, they're all there (the icons are on the desktop) except for OpenOffice.

What happened there?
Since the other apps are not gone after reboot, I believe OO should be there too no?

Any explanation is truly appreciated. Thanks.

*it's OpenOffice2.0 uci
