what do you mean by cant save your configuration?

Sounds like he's having the same problem as me, If i boot a DSL usbhdd install and make changes/create files etc they all dissapear upon reboot and everything defaults. Very frustrating :/

You didn't read the "Getting Started" page.
Put

Code Sample

dsl mydsl=sda1 restore=sda1

in the boot command line. Copy downloaded apps to /
Open the dsl panel and click the Backup/Restore button and put sda1 in the field, then click the button.

Yeah thats fair enough, but having to do it every single time you are going to shut down is a pain, shouldnt it just be automated or there at least be an option to have it automatically backup everything on shutdown? I wonder what command 'backup' executes...
