I found if I add some software or data directoris on DSL. Their configure files can not be changed because they are in a read-only file-system (under dir /KNOPPIX). E.g. Apache's http.conf file became a link to the file in /KNOPPIX.
How to deal with it and ask DSL to move some files to RAM when it starts?

Try looking at the beginning of the Rox Filer install script, mentioned in the Ideas & Suggestions board.

You need to make sure that the directories where your config files are found are created on the RAMDISK instead of on the KNOPPIX read-only file system. Then all you need to do is to delete the link for your config file and reaplce it with a copy of your new config file.

Good luck.
