If I save my settings to a USB stick, does that usb stick need to be formatted to fat16 or fat32 format?

I remember having problems loading settings from USB stick wich was formatted to ext3.

I don't think it matters, as long as it's a filesystem that DSL can read/write. I would guess that your problems were instead of, or in addition to, the filesystem used.

I used ext3 format. O.o

ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, so DSL should be able to read from that usb stick (mounted as ext2)
