I recently downloaded DSL 2.3 RC2 to my USB memory stick and am running it in Windows.  I have been searching the forums for help and testing different folders to try to get my extensions to load on startup, but they never load.  Are the extensions supposed to go in a folder called "mydsl" on my memory stick or anywhere on the DSL harddrive?  Does case matter?  I've always been using lowercase.  Please help so that I don't have to reload my extensions manually all the time. :(

- Mount hdb
- copy the .dsl to /mnt/hdb
- Add 'mydsl=hdb' after -append "qemu

Thanks.  I haven't tried this yet, but last night after I would start DSL up, the box in the bottom right corner would show that hdb is unmounted and hda is mounted.  Will adding mydsl=hdb make it mount that before it checks for extensions or do I need to do something else to make hdb auto mount sometime during startup?

After removing -audiohw sb16 from the bat file to fix a startup problem, it worked fine getting the extensions from hdb.  Any explanation to why the box in the lower right still thinks hdb is unmounted when it clearly is mounted?

Sorry for the triple post, but does anyone know why MyDSL doesn't let you download extensions directly to /mnt/hdb?  I have to save to /tmp then copy to hdb before I shutdown.  I think this may be a permission problem.  I tried starting MyDSL as root and it said I must be user DSL.
