The mydsl directory was created so that no boot option would be required to autoload extensions. The idea is to be able to have a hands free boot from liveCD that would load up extensions and restore user backup. I could not premake a mydsl directory It can be on a hard drive partition, a pendrive, a CF, etc, etc. It does not have to be on the same level as, or even on the same partition as, the DSL (KNOPPIX) image.
The last place I would recommend is under /home/dsl as that is the default for the backup/restore. Placing it there just ballons up the backup/restore. Which in turns slows down everything let alone using excess ramdisk. Extensions should always be separate from regular user files. Extensions being code and libaries are static. User files and configurations should be the only things within the backup/restore.
With so many combinations of options, including persistent home and opt. It is not always easy to give stock answers, either here or in the Wiki.
Many times, questions posted and answers to such are for a very particular set of combinations.
DSL, does not make decisions for you. With many choices comes complexitiy but also much flexibility..
There really is method to my madness.
