Most of the system is contained inside the compressed KNOPPIX filesystem. It is read-only, so it works on both hard drives/usb drives and also CD-R disks.
The smaller, read/write portion of the system is by default stored inside a ramdisk. This is why you can write to it when using a livecd and you can also write to it many times without wearing out a USB flash drive. Unfortunately, you will lose any data that is stored in the ramdisk upon power loss or shutdown of the computer. This is why the backup/restore system was added to DSL. The backup/restore system will save selected parts of your ramdisk into a backup archived file once upon shutdown (must be saved to a writable device like a floppy, hard drive or USB drive). It is then automatically restored upon reboot into DSL.
Your extensions will get lost upon reboot unless you back them up or save them to a writable storage location.
The right place to save your extensions for an embedded system is the virtual harddisk. I believe that it appears as either /mnt/hda or /mnt/hdb.
You will need to use "Emelfm as Super User" in order to copy the extension files over to this place.
