You need to save your files to a permanent storage device, like a hard drive partition, example:  /mnt/hda1/filename.dsl

or to a USB storage device, example:  /mnt/sda1/filename.dsl

Then, when booting you need to specify the location at the boot prompt, like this:

dsl alsa mydsl=/dev/sda1

Press the F2 or F3 keys at boot time for more options.

Now, if you don't specify the location, it will try to find the files in the top level directory of your boot device.  So if you store the files on a USB drive and boot from this drive then you don't need to add the mydsl=xxx line.

This is also true if you create your own customized DSL boot CD-R disk that contains your extension files (read-only, of course) to the top directory of the CD-R disk.

Actually,

Windows XP is pretty complicated too, but it is designed to hide all of that complicated stuff with easy to use user interfaces like "Add/Remove Programs" and the like.

Unfortunately, the downside of easy-to-use and install is that it leaves the OS vulnerable to trojans and adware.  And any of the pre-installed services can be a source for viri and backdoors.

Linux is harder to learn than general use of XP, but in the long run you are better off because you can actually understand how your computer works (and change it, too!).
