I frugal installed DSL to a 512 MB CF card with only one partition.

Now I seems that there is nowhere for me to backup my settings unless I use a thumbdrive? Well... I can't, so what are my options? Create a new partition? And how? Do I start all over?

Thanks in advance!

ps- somewhere in the frugal documentation this should be made clear to newbies so they don't bang their heads against the wall looking for a local place to store their customization.

THESE PDF'S ARE AWESOME, AND EXACTLY WHAT WAS MISSING! KUDOS TO CLIVESAY (and thanks to eMeRy for pointing them out.

ADMINISTRATORS: Please link to these documents in both the FAQ and the WIKI. Please. It should take you just a moment and it will save yourselves from having to repeatedly answer alot of the same newbie questions again and again.
