Ok, just figured this out...Thanks all for the learning experience, and such a top little OS.  I am running the embedded version from my USB 1.1 Key, a little slow, but i am patient!

My dsl-windows.bat file is as follows:

<code>
REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -enable-audio -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet dsl restore=hdb mydsl=hdb"

CLS
EXIT
</code>

and my filelist.lst is like this....
<code>
opt/ppp
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/powerdown.sh
opt/.firefox_plugins
home/dsl/filetool.lst
home/dsl/.mozilla
home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds
home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles
home/dsl/.fluxbox/init
home/dsl/.xinitrc
home/dsl/.xserverrc
home/dsl/.bashrc
home/dsl/media
home/dsl/.sylpheed
home/dsl/Mail
</code>

This setup will save my email (and account info), my default fluxbox theme, any media, my firefox bookmarks.  I just right click on the desktop, select "System" -> "Backup/Restore" -> "Backup" (hdb), OK.  The next time i load up my DSL i have all my favourite stuff back.

I will invest in a better Pendrive soon, one with booting capabilities, until then this works a treat and saves me taking my laptop everywhere with me.  I can just borrow a pc and check my email easily.

Hope this helped a bit.

I'm sure that it will help someone down the road.

FYI, if you are using DSL embedded it should automatically backup your files upon shutdown of the operating system.

Do you see a little "Backing up files to xxx .... done" message in the window right before the KNOPPIX halted message appears?
