Laptops :: booting from cd on IBM Thinkpad

Using a frugal? Look up backup/restore.

Is "frugal" a min installation. I am running DSL from the cd in ram.
Tried backup/restore. It will backup to my floppy "backup.tar" shows up but I cannot restore it using backup/restore panel. Tried using f2 at startup and dsl restore=fd0 also dsl restore=floppy. But no luck. Since it is a .tar file do I have to unzip it?

hm, it should be backup.tar.gz in the / or your floppy
so using restore=floppy should be correct...

Using the livecd whether or not you boot with toram, is still a type of frugal (media is a cd)

You should use mydsl-load.

Thanks ^thehatsrule^.
Finally got it working. (at start-up F2, dsl restore=fd0). Now back/restore to my floppy is done automatically.
The above is on my desktop. I gave up on the laptop.
Appreciate your efforts to help me.
