When you start dillo from the fluxbox menu it is set to load a specific page, so a homepage setting is not used. You can verify that this is the issue by starting dillo from a command prompt (a terminal or "run" dialog)
The menu item looks like this:
[exec] (Dillo patched) {dillo file:/usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html}
Change it to this:
[exec] (Dillo patched) {dillo}
menu file is /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
The "reboot" part might also be a problem. If you are running any DSL system other than a full harddrive installation, you will need to use the backup/restore feature to save settings. Otherwise your system will boot into its original state.
Also, rebooting is not necessary for anything short of system failure or kernel changes.
EDIT: One more thing...you usually don't need to be root to change application settings. The configs in /etc are for all users, but most programs support configurations for individual users. These are usually copies of the /etc config files placed in $HOME, either as a hidden file (file beginning with a dot), or a file in a hidden directory. In the case of dillo, it is a directory:
/home/dsl/.dillo/
Copy /etc/dillorc into that directory and you can make all the changes you want as user dsl. This also prevents errors from messing up all users....if you screw up a config just copy the system config and start over.
