Other Help Topics :: Saving settings

Being new to DSL, I read the instructions for saving settings to file. while it might be obvious, how do I save my email settings to file so I don't have to reconfigure my email every time I boot.

Thansk in advance

add these lines to your filetool.lst before you backup ..

/home/dsl/Mail
/home/dsl/.sylpheed

make sure you are editing the filetool.lst copy in the
/home/dsl directory if you are using the later 0.7.3 series.

Thanks much

Can i put filetool.lst somewhere on CD for automatic restore?

No, the CD is read only...

You must use either a floppy disc, an ext2 or fat16/32 HD partition,
or another location like a usb key, etc to backup.

The line "/home/dsl/filetool.lst" should be in your filetool.lst.
That way your filetool.lst is in your backup as well as the other files you wish to keep.

You can automatically restore at boottime with "dsl restore" if you use a floppy.
Use "dsl restore=hdxx" for a HD or usb location.
