Please read the web page that loads automatically when the desktop is loaded.  Also check the DSL wiki:

When you boot from USB, the USB root directory is mounted as /cdrom and root can write in it.  In an Xshell write
sudo mkdir /cdrom/mydsl
sudo cp /your_dsl_dir/* /cdrom/mydsl

The first link posted above says where to save your extensions and how to get them to load automatically.

Are you having trouble with the basic file management processed in Linux?  If so, please read some of this stuff:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html

Are you having trouble finding the downloaded extensions? When using the MyDSL interface (the desktop icon), the extensions are saved to /tmp by default. You will need to copy the ones you want to keep into a place where they can be found during the boot process (as stated at the first link).
The extensions will need to be saved in the format in which they were downloaded (*.dsl, *.tar.gz, *.uci, *.unc) or they will not load when you boot.
