well, i read the getting start up file (saving configuration) but it just doesn't work..

(as root in terminal)i created a folder /cdrom/mydsl and downloaded an extension and installed it there.

control panel:backup (hdb1) creates backup.tar.gz in /cdrom

when I shutdown, it says that backup-files are being saved.

When I reboot again, everything is gone! the mydsl folder is not present though it has been directly created on the usb stick! the backup.tar is gone too!

i don't get it. what am i doing wrong. do i have to set up anything else? I'm not sure which other steps i should do mentioned in the getting-start-up guide.

cheers

From what you describe is I would wager that you are running Qemu.

man, too may newbies don't know about the 'virtual disk' thingy.
i think maybe there should be a dsl-X.Y-embedded.zip.info for that?

Moved to dsl embedded section.

Qemu does not have native write access to real devices.
Read the readme that was included in the zip file.

Try some of the advanced Qemu configurations.

Your issue is not somthing under DSL control.
