I figured it out... Frugal really is the way to go.

I only ever did one HD install when I first found out about DSL cos I thought it might give me the same thrill that BEOS did (way back then). It did not.

I did a Debian style hard drive install the first time, and after that it's only been Frugal. It just works.

I have a question. I have a frugal install and load in a myDSL application that has a config file in /etc. I attempt to save the config file by adding it to .filetool.lst. When I reboot, and my backup is restored is the config file overwritten by the expansion of the of the application (e.g. <app>.dsl) with the default config file in the myDSL package?
