USB booting :: Making a custom DSL on USB drive

What would I have to do to save preferences, like if I changed by desktop background (somehow) and wanted it to stay that way.

That's easy - it's documented, and it works!

Read the file "Getting Started" that Dillo uses as its default start page. See the section "Saving your Configuration".

Pointer -> you need to edit filetool.lst

I have installed DSL as frugal on my usb stick. I am booting a pc without harddisk and it is working fine, but i am starting from scratch after restart.

I want to save my settings on the same usb stick. I have tried to edit the filetool.lst but everytime i restart my edit is forgotten??

How can i save settings when i cant save filetool.lst??

Please help.

One of the items in filetool.lst is filetool.lst... ie. it automatically saves itself.
Check your usb stick to see if there is a backup.tar.gz being created after you press backup/restore in the menu.

Also check that it is backing up to the right drive... Umm, not too sure where it would be going if you don't have another drive, but making sure the backup.tar.gz is there and contains the right files should work.
