My bad..
I juxtaposed the word "themes" for the correct word "styles"

When you install any of the numerous themes available in the
repository, the images are stored in the "backgrounds" dir,
while the style files are in the "styles" directory..

Backing up these 2 directories, and the init file, will keep
ALL of your installed themes backed up and available from
the menu under desktop > styles..

When using the stock DSL , only the "styles" directory exists.

Do check out some of the other themes available...

Now I've got DSL actually booting off the pen drive (VERY happy about that

) , and have tried a couple of extra themes ('liquidglass' rocks

):

I've tried installing a couple of MyDSL apps, but they don't seem to get backed up to the pen drive, and are missing when I next boot into DSL. AFAICS, many MyDSL apps are installed into /opt/, and I wondered if I could just put the whole /opt/ directory tree into filetool.lst, so it would all get backed up.

Whether I have enough space left on the pen drive for this, I don't know - is there a more efficient way to make the MyDSL apps persistent?

BTW: when I reset my keyboard settings to UK via the Control Panel, which file do I have to ensure is backed up, so that the setting will be remembered?

Thanks,
Tim

I'm having the same problem. I'm running DSL off a usb drive and am looking to save the settings (desktop, files, etc) to the usb drive also. Should I save them under backup/restore to fd0 too?

No, sda1 is what you are looking for. Or sda2, depends on your setup.

Hallo! I´m a real newbie, but rather good at PC.
I dont want to disturb my PC windows before I no a lot more
Is it possible to reach other parts of my computer, like my so far empty 4gb extra partition, a usb pen drive or my eternal harddrive(three partitions) and save or pick up things??

How do I do to make my HP PSC printer work? Is installation saved automatically?

How do I configure my adsl? Is it safe although there is awarning about changing file etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider??

One more is there a linux manual to find and download which applies to DSL?
