Hello there,
just a question about DSL. I am new in the world of LINUX, so maybe you can easily answer me and after making some own experiences I will laugh about my own question. Nevertheless, I need now a suitable solution. I put DSL embedded on my USB stick and its quite cool. Thanks to the programming team. Its very impressive. But if I make some changes and wanna keep them, they won't appear after rebooting. What shall I do?

Thank you for your answer!

ps.: I have a WINXP machine (Shuttle Barebone; Intel 3,6; 2GB RAM; 500 GB Raid 0, X800 Radeon) under the stick with a NTFS-FileSystem

I'd say search these forums and find that every 34th thread answers this question. Search for *filetool.lst and you'll find your answers even more quickly.

hm, ok it works. ty again for fast help.
by doing this another question came up. how can i mount the stick itself, for instance to create a swap file onto it? if i look in fstab, i have just found hda (seems to be the ramdisk) and hdb (seems to be knoppix itself).

ty for your answer!

hda and hdb are always physical drives. Ramdisk is RAM only.
Your stick is probably mounted at /cdrom, though i couldn't say what the device name is. As far as i know, it's mounted read-only...i'm not sure, but you may need to use a different system to modify it, such as the DSL liveCD.

It's probably a better idea to put swap on a harddrive rather than removeable media...it's faster and more reliable.
