Maybe just for clarification, what type of installation are you using?

[quick 1st reaction]I´m using version 3.1! It´s a HD install! Not a frugal installation!

[EDIT]When I press right mouse button I can see MyDSL with firebird 2.0 & TCL/TK shell in it! But if I click on one of them nothing happens! Also no desktop icons are loaded! UCI tool is also empty!
When I load an local extension everything goes fine and there is an double entry under MyDSL (right mouse click). So I see Firebird for DSL twice under MyDSL now!

The programs peerguard & amsn are running fine! Although they are not in the mydsl folder! Amsn doesn´t start because tcl/tk isn´t running but when thats started manually it works fine...

You can add commands to load them in /opt/bootlocal.sh though if you don't want to upgrade.

what exactly should I put there to load for example the tcltk-8.4.uci?

Nope... check out the mydsl tool on the desktop (mydsl-load for terminal).

This only mounts the programs not installs them permanently right?

Ah that explains everything. Again the most obvious statement was left out. Forget those bootcodes. *erases last page*

I noticed that I had to load them every time I start up with DSL and they were loaded into the ram ...

That only happens on a frugal.

command line for loading mydsl extensions: mydsl-load <file>

Actually now that I'm looking back to the first post it looks like all of the extensions listed were of the uci variety, which do not remain installed even in a traditional style harddrive system.

I have no idea how auto-loading works with this type of setup. You may need to edit /home/dsl/.bash_profile, adding mydsl-load /path/to/filename.uci

euh I just added mydsl-load /home/dsl/mydsl/firefox-2.0-gtk1.uci to /opt/bootlocal.sh and the file gets mounted during the startup! Startup just takes a fews secs more but 1:17 is still quite good on a 300 mhz I guess! Atleast thats what the uptime says
