I am looking to use DSL 3.0.1 Embedded as a portable environment for web browsing at school. All I need is amsn through the MyDSL, but I can't figure out how to get the extensions to install at boot up. IIRC, it's just a matter of saving them to the right directory, but I can't find/remember which directory it is.

BTW, been outta the DSL loop for a while, since 2.3, and I gotta say, things are looking better and better!

Ok, thanks, I've tried putting them in /, but in embedded, there's only about 2.3 megs left. I'll have to try /mydsl. Only problem that I can think of there is that it is still in hda, which, like I said, is only 3 megs in DSL Embedded.

I'm also kinda confused as to which partition that Embedded boots from...

Ok, just tried /mydsl. There's no room...

I guess what I need to know now is from where Embedded boots from.

Ok, I think I finally got it. I have begun saving my extensions in hdb, and in the .bat file I added the option mydsl=hdb to the list of boot options. Works great now.
