I DON'T like to save everything under /home.
(From a LiveCD users perspective),-  If I save, for example....
...Everything in /home/dsl/.fluxbox, If I used any .dsl extensions,
and I backup and reboot.. the .dsl icons will be on my desktop,
even though the program isn't loaded to the ramdisk yet,
because it's saved/restored the /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu file and .xtdesktop file.

That's a good point.  As far as menu entries go (I don't use icons), I've been putting all .dsl files in /cdrom/optional except ones that I know I'll want to have immediately (currently only aterm and a couple of commandline apps), and have only those apps in my backed up menu.

I still haven't tested out login scripts (e.g. .bash_profile) as .dsl yet.  Do these .dsl files get copied before user dsl is logged in, or will I still need to source bash_profile after login?

Good question. The *.dsl autoload happens fairly early in the boot process, so I would not be surprised if it happened before the bootlocal.sh was run.

One way to find out is to give it a try :)

I think you can put a "filetool.sh restore" command in your
bootlocal.sh , and do the same thing, automagically,
every time you bootup.. Just place what you want to save
in the /home/filetool.lst, and backup...

I assume this means you still need to auto-load your modified bootlocal.sh somehow before the boot process is complete.  Is this done through a boot option (mydsl=something), or making a /cdrom/bootlocal.dsl?

EDIT:  I found the answer in another thread...apparently it's "yes"
