no persistence, not saving anything
metoo:
I would love to use Tiny Core, but I've already spent 2 entire days trying to get anything to save settings.
I've watched the videos, read all wikis, and read persistence for dummies, but nothing is being saved.
I want to keep everything on the USB, within /tce/optional and any other folder in USB.
I've managed to get firefox in onboot.lst and it can be loaded manually, but no saving settings here either.
I would expect firefox would at least be loaded and ready on startup with icon in wbar.
When I use waitusb=5 or 10 or even 20, it seems to ignore /tce folder on usb, then when its started I get stuck at command prompt, and xsetup and startx are shown as commands not found.
Anyone have ideas?

Hi metoo,
welcome in the forum! Please send the output of
--- Code: ---showbootcodes
--- End code ---
and
--- Code: ---cat /opt/.filetool.lst
--- End code ---
.
metoo:
I've been booting to default choice, but have also tried option for waitusb.
tc@box:~$ showbootcodes
initrd=/ubninit loglevel=3 cde BOOT_IMAGE=/ubnkern
tc@box:~$ cat /opt/.filetool.lst
opt
home
tc@box:~$

cde is for CD drives only. It prevents persistence as CDs are read-only.

UNETBOOTIN is not compatible with TC, so it is not a big suprise.
