I've noticed that installed UCI's aren't persistent in HD-installed environments.  IE: you get, say, openoffice.uci.  you reboot at some point.  The icons are in flux box, but they do nothing.  Upon further investigation, the files are there, in /tmp, but need mounted.  running mountci openoffice.uci openoffice works fine.  You reboot.  The situation is the same.

See what I'm saying?  That should not be necessary.  perhaps the current initscript should have a check for the contents of /tmp for *.uci?  It's not like the CD has anything of that nature, nor minirt24.gz.  A simple slip-in to make life easy, you know?

Not to be one that offers no suggestion...

One thing that you may wish to do, is to add your mydsl-load or mountci commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh

The /tmp directory is only the default for the mydslgui program. The uci's could be stored anywhere, mounted ot umounted. liveCD uses the mydsl=hdaX command to automount them. In a sense, I am suggesting that you use the /opt/bootlocal.sh for a similar use.
