Don't put "the" backup.tar.gz on the root of the cdrom, as the autosave/restore will then try to write to it.
I guess it has been forgotten, so, I will post it once again. You can rename the backup.tar.gz to something else, e.g., myconf.tar.gz.
You can slim the contents down to whatever you like, or add more, it is not truly a backup but your personalized configurations, bookmarks, printer setup, mail setup, ppp setup, etc. Then use the backup featrure for those files that are changing between boots. It is up to you.
Then using mkmydsl script, you can make your custom DSL, with the features that you like, no remastering required. If your machine has a burner and DSL boots, then it is very easy.
For example, after I am finished with a release, I run mkmydsl and place myconf.tar.gz and the "toram" option to make my daily use mydsl.iso
You can also add as many extensions and optionals depending on the size of your cdrom or dvd, or specialized use.
DSL was desinged to be highly configurable.
In fact the mydsl system and mkmydsl which were released back in april 04 were from the beginning designed to make custom myDSL cd.
The loading extensions on demand were implemented a month later.
