Stop settings been lost?
Hi, I have installed DSL on my small computer and would like to use it for a gateway.
Is there a way to stop it losting its settings each time it reboots? thanks, Adrian. |
Anyone? please :)

you need to configure a home directory, wether it be on a usb drive, or an extra hard drive you have lying around. Im not exactly sure how to do this, but thought i would give you a shove in the right direction.

You can backup most any file using the backup/restore feature.
edit your filetool.list copy located at your backup location to list your chosen files. for ex: copy your filetool.list file to your hda2 partition. A generic copy is provided in your /home/damnsmall directory. add the line "/home/damnsmall/.phoenix" in your new filetool.list file. Run " select backup/restore from partition, under 'system' in your menu, and enter the correct location. for ex: hda2 Run "backup" from the menu. then , when you bootup, press F2 for options, type "dsl restore='what partition you backed-up to' " for ex: dsl restore=hda2 This would restore/overwrite the /home/damnsmall/.phoenix file. Run Firefox, and all your bookmarks, cache, passwords, etc. are back. You can do the same with your files containing your iptables, hosts, etc. 73 ke4nt |
I would need it to keep the network card config, and start a few programs on bootup also.
Any ideas? Thanks for help so far... Adrian. |
