ok im using dsl on a pendrive..ive pretty much got it figured out...now ive noticed that when i go to websites and then restart the computer the history is still there...however when i change my background from the penguin to a misfits skull and restart my computer the background goes back to default (picture is still saved in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds but must be re-set as background) why are some things saved while others arnt? how can i make my background stick? i tired the "mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/home" command but it didnt work...can someone help me with this? thanks

Are you using the wallpaper.lua tool? Are you selecting a background or saving it?

In the menu. Or you can launch it from aterm:
wallpaper.lua

haha uh yeah im a car mechanic and untill a week ago when my hard drive took a s*it i didnt even know what a live-cd was...so now im just getting into linux (puppy, DSL and ubuntu) and im seriously considering switching to linux once i get a new drive (getting sick of the crashes and updates with XP) but i still dont really know what im doing so please forgive the stupid questions

where is the menu you are talking about and what is aterm? i dont see anything called wallpaper.lau anywhere

bascally what i did was download an image off google.. and then went to desktop --> wallpapers    to the "DSL background selector"  and clicked help..it said "displays images in the standard fluxbox locations..." so then i went Emelfn file manger and transfered the image to "/home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds" then restarted the background selector application and then selected my saved image..but like i said DSL seems to save all my settings except the background once i restart...image is still in the "/home/dsl/.fluxbox/backgrounds location but is not applied to the background

thank you for your help...
