How do I edit the system configuration?  For instance, the window that apears when I load DSL is quite small compaired to my current resolution and have been unable to find a sollution to this.  Can you help?

Also, how do I let DSL use more of my computer's RAM?  It maxes out quite easily, which makes it hardly worth using since it is so slow.

Final question: how would I go about saving firefox extensions?  Each time I install something for firefox such as themes and extensions, they do not exist next time I boot up DSL.  Help?

Thanks for your help.


EDIT: I'm booting from a usb flash drive if that helps.

To change resolution: run xsetup.sh or boot with "dsl xsetup"

Normally it allocates 75% (i think?) of your system memory.  You could tweak this by changing the ramdisk boot parameters, but I'm don't know if this is safe.  You could create a swap partition on a hdd if available though.

To save things, see backup/restore features in the first page on dillo or the wiki.
