Apparently not, as stated in the "Getting Started" section in version 0.7.0 the extensions are for the liveCD. They are normally loaded into ramdisk. If you do a hard drive install after loading stuff into the ramdisk who knows. The hard drive install script needs alot of the ramdisk. Now, if you forced loaded them after a base hard drive install with the tar command, as some posts have suggested, then all should be fine. Otherwise your menu from backup may be confusing you. You should always do a hard drive install with a known base DSL. Please leave the ramdisk alone, as the hard drive install needs as much of it as possible.
Starting with 0.7.1, after doing a base hard drive install then use the new features to easily load extensions. Now both liveCD and hard drive installs can benefit from the extensions.
Note: If you do a hard drive install always load the base then extensions. Also I would recommend to keep your extensions in a separated partition or on a cdrom. That way when new version of DSL comes out, you load the base then extensions, pretty easy. Certainly not forgetful. Lets see now where was I?
