I added a couple of small .dsl extensions (dock apps) to the root of the cd (I suppose), in the place where index.html (Are you still using windows...) and the autorun files go (if you use them) ( I get the autorun to work only occasionally, so I have done what 0.8.2 has done, and deleted them from the remaster.)
---
When I boot the CD (remastered to include the above), the extensions are loaded (apparently), and named one by one. That is impressive and gives one a confirmation by name of each .dsl picked up by the system.
---
Now, I cannot get them to appear, or boot. I can, but I have to return to the source device, sda1, where copies of the extensions are stored.
I did not have to do "mydsl=sda1" at the boot prompt, they were picked up automatically.
---
I tried the MyDSL icon on the desktop, and unless I give the drive, sda1, then that cannot find the extensions. Also, I tried the menu, which gives the same MyDSL Click and Load GUI.
---
I cannot understand why the extensions are found and named during bootup, but not in the menu at the top under MyDSL, unless I load them
via the MyDSL Click and Load GUI, by giving it the pen drive sda1 location. So, they are not loaded from the CD when I get them to work, only loaded from the pen drive.
I boot like this:
boot: dsl restore=sda1 toram
or
boot: dsl restore=hdb1 toram
---
An associated problem: If you rename a backup.tar.gz to something like
101504_backup.tar.gz, and store it on a hard drive partition, etc., then the MyDSL system will try and load that like it was an extension. I often
store MyDSL extensions and backup.tar.gz in the root of a hard drive partition, and can do this at boot:
dsl restore=hdb1 mydsl=hdb1 toram
Then I see the error, which is apparently harmless, as the dated backup.tar.gz file is not an extension.

Just trying to get a good grip on the mydsl system...
