You can...
1.  make sda1 writable, and
2.  forgo the "remove the CD" line,  by ...

Using the bootcode 'frugal' in your startup command options at boottime..

mostly the pppoe settings would be nice to be saved to pendrive and perhaps some desktop style settings.

In the Backup/Restore I wrote sda1 and for somehow it started to work  :;):

thanks for the reply!

This is the problem I had, it won't backup to sda if it is mounted, use my example earlier either manually unmount sda and run the backup or edit the powerdown.sh script to do so

remember if you add more usb keys etc it may no longer be sda (the backup / restore takes account for this as it simply backs up to where it restored from)

I play it safe and umount /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/sdb1 :D

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
