After checking the form for two days and doing searches on how to save the configuration files and firefox bookmarks, Im at a loss. I've done everything I found and still can't get it saved. All the topics are running together, and I can't make any sense out of anything any more. Plz someone can write up a quick How to on saving. But a 1. - 2. - 3. type thing, so I can get my blood presure back down. Thanxs in advance

1. Open the emelfm file manager.
2. Click ONCE on the filetool.lst filename.
3. Push the "Edit button"
4. The file contents will appear in the Beaver text editor window.
Add a new line to the beginning to the file:
home/dsl/.mozilla
5. Press the "Save" floppy disk icon on the toolbar.
6. Close down Beaver and Emelfm.
7. Right click on the desktop and choose from the menu:
System -> Backup/Restore
8. Type in the place where you want to store your backup file.
For example:
fd0 = usually your floppy disk drive
sda1 = usually your USB thumb drive
hda1 = First hard drive partition on IDE master drive
usually C:\ drive for MSDOS/Win95/Win98/WinME

and so on.
9. Then press the BACKUP button.

To restore, type this in at bootup time:

dsl restore=xxx

where xxx is the name of the backup device from step 8.
10. Enjoy

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR USB THUMB DRIVE IS ALREADY PLUGGED IN AT BOOT TIME OR IT WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY DETECTED.
