Yes, I'm convinced: restore does work!
When I first tried the restore technique, I did not fully
understand the importance of filetool.lst to a successful
recreation of the workspace.
It's unfortunate that the default filetool.lst does not backup
ALL /home/dsl files and directories, especially .xinitrc, so
the user can see previous configuration changes at bootup.
On re-reading them, the directions on restore are complete
enough to get it working, but, for newbie users, you might want
to include a short recipe emphasizing the pre-eminence of
filetool.lst. My short recipe would be something like:
1. Load dsl restore=hda3 mydsl=hda3 --- choose your own partition
2. Edit /home/dsl/filetool.lst:
- add, at a minimum, .xinitrc so your X changes will be
remembered.
- Add any other files and directories that you want to track to
filetool.lst
3. Reboot
Thanks for everyone for your assistance on this topic.
