I use MyDsl to get FireFox.uci and it works.
Now how do I copy it to my USB Stick so it is permanent?

Thanks

use emelfm to copy firefox.uci to /cdrom then it will be installled at boot time

I was not clear on my post.
I am booting from a USB stick.
I have downloaded the FireFox.uci using MyDsl.
When I reboot it is no longer on the screen.

How do I make it permanent on my USB Stick?

Thanks

if you use dsl-0.8.2 then.

download firefox.uci to /home/dsl
then copy it to /cdrom

note /cdrom = your usb-stick

Tried copying from /tmp to /cdrom.
Get message "cannot create regular file Permission Denied"

Tried to chmod 777 tmp
No go

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

<edit>
0. maybe you have to do a : mount /drom remount,rw
first to make the usb-stick writeable
</edit>

1. are you sure the firefox.uci isnot copied?
2 .if not the try using the emelfm as root.
