HD Install :: frugal, backup, mydsl home dir. and presistece



Just make a level 1 directory named  mydsl on hdc1 then copy your extensions into this directory . All your extensions will autoload at boot time.

I would not have the backup on the same drive, let alone, the same partition of home. If you lose the drive, you lost both, home and backup!

Ok: Time for the happy dance. Think of Snoopy...

Taking this to heart I'll make the change with backup to hdc1 (the separate CF drive)
This is not a storage machine surf and email. That being said; I can't get more than one drive in this laptop rig. I understand your thought on loosing everything.  So far, the most valuable data is the Grub menu.  
mydsl=hda7 home=hda8

Thank you sirs!

Guess thats the best I can get.
MyDSl is working now.
the strange thing is that with the Grub entry it didn't function. "mydsl=hda7"
now that that is gone it works and loads in the 3 MyDSL apps I loaded in from MyDSL.

Any idea why it would not work with the the mydsl=hda7 and work seamingly fine with out? I have backup, home dir and opt dir, and the mydsl directory at root on hda7.
It autoscans for a mydsl directory unless one is specified.
If you use mydsl=hda7/mydsl it will boot up slightly faster as it will not have to do the autoscan.

You were using the old syntax before the autoscan mydsl search path  was implemented.

That makes perfect sense.
