| Quote (starcannon @ Jan. 09 2006,18:58) | Jags heres what i learned and implemented:
1)store all your DSL extensoions in your /mnt/hda5/home/dsl/My-DSL (or where ever you wanna store the dsl directory.
2)symlink the DSL extension into /cdrom (if you try to put 5 megs of extensions in a full up 50meg partition thats holding your boot image it will complain, symlinks are tiny tho, so can put loads of those in  )
3) if swap is not active then boot from CDRom with "dsl 2 vga=xxx"
dsl@box~$ sudo su
bash-2.05b# swapon /dev/hda6 (or whatever partition your swap is on)
reboot
4) if this post was correct you should now buy a 6pack of fat tire ale and drink one for me
Have fun and let us know if it works out.

As a total noob to DSL I have been searching/reading/trying different ways to keep opera850.uci
persistent and have yet to succeed! Finding your post has given me new hope - Now if you would
just be kind enough to walk me thru these two steps it would me much appreciated!
My frugal setup is as follows
hda8 -- DSL image - 55meg
hda9 -- /opt & /home - 1gig
hda6 -- swap (also used as swap for other distros) 540meg
Have 3gig of ram so swap never seems to get used by any distos I use or have tested
Boot via grub including the options home=hda8 mydsl=hda8
1)store all your DSL extensoions in your /mnt/hda5/home/dsl/My-DSL
"store" How? I am a drag & drop via KDE person and when I attempt a download to hda9 it
results in an error msg telling me to mount a directory and try again
2)symlink the DSL extension into /cdrom
Each time I have download the .uci by default it goes to /tmp. Lets say I manage to "store" it
in /mnt/hda9/home/dsl/My-DSL, could you provide an example or explain how to create a symlink
to /cdrom
If it makes any difference, all tweaks, bookmarks, ect which I do when opera is installed are
saved - Just lose the desktop icon, opera850 dir, and sub dirs for it after a reboot.
