Hi all,

I must have badly missed something :( :

installed DSL on a 128 MB pendrive (tried ZIP-drive and HD install both) and customized DSL by modifying the config, adding a local .Xmodmap and a MyDSL-app /nmap/.

After rebooting all customization was lost.  As I understood custom data should been automatically saved on the USB. (Wasn't it the idea with the USB drive).
Or do I have to extra save those infromation somehow (?)

OTHER:
By halting the system it request to eject the CD (?) and as there is none it does not stop the hardware  ???

best regards,

kris *_^O^_*

Dear kerry,

you may not want to waist your time (and mine) with adding a message to this list without substance.

# Remarks:
# I would never post a question without rtfm & google.
# As I see it would also be possible to make a conventional
# install but then I would loose portability and with it
# The Purpose.

best regards,

kris108, I know how you feel about wanting to save the setup and applications. It took me a while to figure out myself, and although people say it's been covered here I couldn't make much sense out of any one particular post. I am going to make a little 'how-to' and keep it in the simplist walk-through terms, because I'm not a Linux guru by any stretch of the immagination. I will let you know when I've done it (no time promises though!). Like everything else, it's not actually hard once you know how, it's just getting to know in the first place that can be a problem! Hang in there.
