DSL Embedded :: backup settings question

Ok I am running newest version of DSL off my external HD. How do I know how that it mounted? Meaing is it /dev/hda1 or /sda what? Thanks

ok I found out that the bakup in the menu is to do the whole HD. I guess what I am trying to find out is how do I save the settings for mouse settings, wallpapers and things like that?

can you backup the apps you install?

If you are running some sort of frugal/livecd, see backup/restore and/or persistence, and the mydsl system.

I downloaded the embeded version.

I click on
dsl-pendrive.bat

Now this is on my external HD which is connected via USB

If I'm using the boot CD, how can I save my settings between sessions?

You can back up your custom settings to a file called backup.tar.gz. To create it go to System > Backup/Restore. Enter the device to save to and hit Backup. Then you can reboot, and at the boot prompt, use the dsl restore={<devicename>} switch to reboot to the previous saved state. The include file list is: /home/dsl/.filetool.lst (this states what to back up). The exclude file is: /home/dsl/.xfiletool.lst (this omits any files you want to skip).

there is no boot prompt to select the file. As far as the list when you reboot that file reset itself
