Shared directory on USB install?
Nate:
Hello,
I have TinyCore 2.3 installed on a USB drive, and it boots and works great.
I would like to copy some data from another computer onto the USB drive
that TinyCore is loaded.
Can I just put arbitrary files in the Tiny Core USB's "/tce" folder, and TinyCore will be able to see
them when it boots?
Or, can I put arbitrary directories on the Tiny Core USB drive, and mount them when Tiny Core boots?
This would save me from having to boot to my USB drive,
and then copy the data/pictures over via ssh or network share, etc.
I apologize if this is a FAQ, I've done some searching and couldn't find
anything.
Thanks,
--Nate

I think the second option would be better, the /tce folder would be better kept for extensions.

I have a same configuration with Nate.
How could i make directory "/tce" in TCL on USB? Using "mkdir" as usual doesnt work.
Thanks

There could be a couple of reasons for this:
1. The usb stick is not mounted
2. You might need root privileges to create a folder on the usb stick
Assuming your usb stick is at /dev/sda1:
--- Code: ---$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1/tce
$ sudo chown tc:staff /mnt/sda1/tce
--- End code ---

i put tinycore files inside /tce. clutter is minimized, and no problems so far.
