Other Help Topics :: Where are DSL files



Hi folks,

After mounting DSL 2.2.b on other Linux distro, I only found following files/directories.

Where do other files/directories reside?  It seemed they are hidden.  Please advise how to find them.  TIA

The files and file system are created when you boot on the CD, so if you're looking for 'normal' linux files on the boot CD, you won't find them.
