I think the menu.lst for frugalled installs is in the partition you installed to, in this case hda2. I think it's /boot/grub.
Don't think this one needs root permission to edit, but if it does (ie. won't let you edit), select it in emelfm, right click and "open with", and type "sudo beaver". Root-level text editing of the file.
For storing settings, edit menu.lst to show where you want your home etc to be, ie., in the DSL boot section, add home=hda3 opt=hda3 and maybe mydsl=hda3 if you want extensions to be found there (make an "optional" dir and stick your extensions in there for choosing, or I think put them in the root to have them auto-load).
This will make persistent directories, eg. your /home/dsl will physically be on your hda3 partition, as will /opt.
Not sure about /cdrom, but I'm thinking it might have to do with using the frugal install as a virtual CD? Might be a cdrom2 as your physical cd-rom?
As for info, there's been many attempts made, but every noobie's needs are going to be different, so it's always hard to try to get all of the information together. Do what I do - if you find a usefull piece of info that might come in handy one day, add it to a text file with all of the other stuff you have found (mine's called, funnily enough, "dsl_stuff.txt", and has several years' worth of extraneous crap, most of which is of no real concern for most other users!)
