A small revision below.

There are 14 poll questions below, so far.... (DSL is limitless)

Poll Questions
==============
LiveCD
LiveCD with backup/restore on Removable Media
LiveCD with persistent home/opt on Removable Media
LiveCD with backup/restore on Hard Disk Drive
LiveCD with persistent home/opt on Hard Disk Drive
Frugal on Removable Media
Frugal on Hard Disk Drive
Not frugal but on Removable/Bootable Media
Embedded (Qemu) on Windows
Embedded (Qemu) on Linux
VMware Player on Windows
VMware Player on Linux
Net Backup/Restore
Traditional Hard Disk Drive install

I would also like to know how many use a dual boot system with DSL. That should be a separate poll, but can be done if there is interest.

Also, it should be noted that some users (like me) use DSL in different ways depending on the situation/circumstances and more than one Poll Question could be answered. So, we should limit this to the Most Used configuration.

To add to my last post, once we decide on what are the appropriate Poll Questions, I will also make note of the comments in posts to come up with some kind of data as well.

Does a mkmydsl version count? I like those.

I had been using it from a live CD. I just installed it onto a older computer to play with it more.

Sheesh, I thought I'd be a weirdo, voting for HD install of a Live-CD distro. Guess not...

Question to those who install dsl on hardisk; why DSL, why not Debian, ubuntu, mandriva? Obviously I am missing something.

I use livecd with boot option: toram mydsl dma noeject
