So i got damn small linux, and it works good and all. The directions it gives to save my settings for the live cd are unclear to me, can anyone help?

Well, explain to us which part of these instructions you do not understand and then we can further clarify them for you.

How do I save my settings?
When booting from the CD or a frugal install your application settings, bookmarks, etc can be saved to separate file on a hard drive partition/usb key/floppy called backup.tar.gz. To create this file choose on System, Backup/Restore in the desktop menu, type in the name of the device to save to (e.g. hda1/sda1/floppy) and hit backup. Then when you reboot your settings can be restored using the cheatcode restore={hda1/sda1/floppy}. To change which files are saved edit /home/dsl/.filetool.lst (list of files to backup) and /home/dsl/.xfiletool.lst (list of files to exclude from the backup process). Adding files to .filetool.lst can be easily done by choosing the file/dir in emelfm and clicking the 'Add2Filetool" button.

The default files/dir saved at backup are:


opt/ppp
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/powerdown.sh
opt/.dslrc
opt/.mydsl_dir
home/dsl/


If you decide you only want to save certain files in home/dsl/ and not the entire directory, you would want to remove home/dsl/ from .filetool.lst but add .filetool.lst and .xfiletool.lst to the .filetool.lst file.

Here is how it might look in this situation adding just the /home/dsl/.fluxbox directory

opt/ppp
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/powerdown.sh
opt/.dslrc
opt/.mydsl_dir
home/dsl/.fluxbox
home/dsl/.filetool.lst
home/dsl/.xfiletool.lst
