I have set up two different backup.tar.gz files for my DSL 0.6.1 installation.
In two partitions, I have the filetool.lst for each tarball. At boot, I use the
knoppix cheatcode:
knoppix restore=/dev/hdb1    (for one version)
or
knoppix restore=/dev/hdb2    (for the other version)
---
The main difference between the two is one has MozillaFirebird (686), and
the other has the Foxfire (586). There is not much difference between the two,
but I just wanted to see if I could do this.
---
I have different menus, and both of these boot off the hard drive, using this
setup:

(this was written with 0.5.3.1 in mind, but generally applies to 6.)
I have added wvdial back in from 0.5.3.1, so my modem will work.
So, when these boot, the partition with /knoppix in it becomes /cdrom.

When a backup is made, for instance when bookmarks are changed, or a
new web page html file is written in the Scite editor, the menu for that version
will write to the correct tarball.
I use custom-made filetool.sh files, and here is the one made for one of these
versions:
http://www.angelfire.com/ms/telegram/61_filetool_sh
of course the real script is 61_filetool.sh, but one cannot name a html page
that or it won't display as text.
Here is the menu:
