How do I save files to my hdd?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am new to DSL and I eventually want to build a Linux box, but first I am trying to understand it.  Also, any links would be helpful.

When I save it goes on to ramdisk, but isn't that a temporary file?

Thanks

you have to first mount the drive.  Can't get into details of this until we know what filesystem is on the partition in question, but basically the command is "mount /dev/<partition> /mnt/<mountpoint>".

At this point, assuming the partition is successfully mounted, you can access the partition through its mountpoint (/mnt/something).
