I have set up two different backup.tar.gz files for my DSL 0.6.1 installation.
In two partitions, I have the filetool.lst for each tarball. At boot, I use the
knoppix cheatcode:
knoppix restore=/dev/hdb1    (for one version)
or
knoppix restore=/dev/hdb2    (for the other version)

The main difference between the two is one has MozillaFirebird (686), and
the other has the Foxfire (586). There is not much difference between the two,
but I just wanted to see if I could do this.

I have different menus, and both of these boot off the hard drive, using this
setup:

(this was written with 0.5.3.1 in mind, but generally applies to 6.)
I have added wvdial back in from 0.5.3.1, so my modem will work.
So, when these boot, the partition with /knoppix in it becomes /cdrom.

When a backup is made, for instance when bookmarks are changed, or a
new web page html file is written in the Scite editor, the menu for that version
will write to the correct tarball.
I use custom-made filetool.sh files, and here is the one made for one of these
versions:

of course the real script is 61_filetool.sh, but one cannot name a html page
that or it won't display as text.
Here is the menu:
