Hi, I'm new to DSL and linux at all.

(Sorry for my English)

I've installed frugal DSL on hdd. But i can't figure out how i put specific data to the backup process. In fact i would like to save the network settings (ip adress...) for the next reboot. Writing "ifconfig eth0 ... etc." to the boot script did not work for me.
How can I get this to work and in general: what can I do to save my settings and data permanently?

Thanks for Help

What I'd do, maybe not the most elegant solution.
1) Write a shell script with all you custom variables and scripts and call it .local
2) Add this line to .bash_profile, before the 'if' statement:
source .local

Next time you reboot the .local file will be executed and you should be alright

Thanks pr0f3550r and sorry for my late response.
Also the solution is present on DSL FAQ.

I did that on DSL HD Install, also for DSL Boot from CD ROM and work fine for both methods.
