Wouldn't you know it - I just found ryptyde's suggestion in that "Getting Started" page in Dillo. Thanks for resisting the temptation to tell me to RTFM 
Now, at least I can reinstall myDSL apps a little easier on each reboot, which is handy. However, I'd ideally like to have many of them ready-installed on boot, which from my reading, seems to mean I would have to add the packages to the root directory of the dsl.iso image itself.
I'm using Linux at home, and know how to mount an ISO image, but I understand this can only be done read-only. Looking through the forums, there are a few posts on remastering DSL (mostly for liveCD users), and I assume the principle is similar for a USB pen drive install. If it is, I don't think I want to go through the remastering process just to add a couple of .dsl files, as it all looks to be rather complicated.
Is there an easier way to just mount the dsl.iso image as writeable, and copy the myDSL packages into it? (I do something similar with the disk image file I use for running FreeDOS in Bochs - use losetup to assign the image to loopback, mount it, add/remove what I want, and unmount it again.)
Thanks again for your help - I think I'm almost there
