Installing a nightly build should not overwrite your prefs file.  Have you run
into this at some point?


All settings are stored in slimserver.pref (or /etc/slimserver.conf for rpm
installs).  To 'export' settings, simply copy this file to another location. 
Ot restore, simply copy the older file over another while the server is not
running.

There is also a command-line option (--prefsfile) which can use a specific prefs
file at runtime.
