Why aren't my MyDSL extensions automatically loading every time I start up DSL?  In order to use the MyDSL extensions, I have to go into the MyDSL Extension Tool, Load Local, and then load up each MyDSL extension manually.  In the past, my MyDSL extensions usually did load up automatically upon startup.

I'm using a frugal install.  My /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst startup settings:
title DSL
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm dma noscsi frugal home=hda3 opt=hda3 mydsl=hda3
initrd /boot/minirt24.gz  

My MyDSL directory location: /mnt/hda3/mydsl

The /opt/.mydsl_dir file contents: /mnt/hda3/mydsl

My MyDSL extensions in the /mnt/hda3/mydsl directory:
firefox-1.5.0.6.uci
gnumeric.unc
gtk2-0705.unc
jre1_5_0.uci

--------------
Current cheatcodes:
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal home=hda3 opt=hda3 restore=hda3 root=hda3

You didn't say which version of DSL you are running.

Likely a permission issue. Check the permission on the mydsl/ directory that both dsl and staff have write permission. It should not be root.root

Easiest to drop the mydsl=hda3 from your boot options.
If you want to specify it then it should be mydsl=hda3/mydsl
