Post Install persistent setup

home= opt= tce= and only use tcz
Also disable the backup prompt in .profile to export BACKUP=0
Warning you should still on occasion backup your data.
Also reduce cache size of any browsers

I don't recommend local= as not all extensions are PPI compatible.

So when having very little RAM

What would be the best/easiest on RAM install option then in general?

In addition to using tcz extensions as already mentioned.

Having a huge backup can overload the ram and affect computer performance.

But before this happens, you normally notice it takes a long time to backup when you shut down, and start up when you turn on the computer.

Backup size can be reduced by saving large files in /home rather than /home/tc (if you use home=).

It can also be reduced by adding things you want to exclude to /opt/.xfiletool.lst. For example, you can add home/tc/.xfe if you use xfe file manager (otherwise it saves trash in backup).

For more info about backup, see

/backup.html][removed due to policy violation]/backup.html

You can also make tcz extensions for things which will not change. These pages include info on how to make extensions for background images and printer.

This thread was solved on the bottom of page 3.

I posted in red since there is no mechanism to mark a thread solved. Also, I feel that there are others, who'd just want to know if the thread is worth following. In other words, "was it solved?" "If so where & how?" Otherwise, it might not be worth reading.

I wish there was some way to append the word "solved" to this post title or at least to  the original post.
Whenever, it's not possible to mark a post's title as solved, I try to ensure that the first & last entry of the post is marked "solved." The goal is to reduce the need for a complete newbie (or anyone for that matter ) to engage in unnecessary searching.  I do not know if I can add the words "solved on page 3" to the original post, (I tried & failed) but I would appreciate an administrator doing so. To those whose append to this post, I would like to kindly ask that you append the words "This thread was solved on the bottom of page 3."
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick answer!
So /home and /opt are the only locations that are backed up?

Yes, but only by default.

You control what can be included and excluded from the backup via the corresponding
/opt/.filetool.lst and /opt/.xfiletool.lst

These two files correspond to the tar -T and -X flags. See manpage of tar for more info.

It could be quite possible to have home= opt= and still desire a backup, especially if you have set passwords or other users. Again, it is up to you to add/change/delete relative file locations specified in these two files..
