how to make root settings persistent
« on: November 07, 2010, 03:42:55 AM »
Hi,
I am using a tinycore system with permanent home/tc directory.
I can perform some audio tasks only if I am root but I have to make root settings persistent, in particular wine settings and .wine directory.
I put
/root/*
line in .xfiletool.lst file but I do not find anything I made with root after rebooting.
What's the solution?
Thanks

xfiletool is an eXclude list, filetool would be the one to include things in.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

/opt/.filetool.lst is for things you want saved in backup.

/opt/.xfiletool.lst is for things you want excluded from backup (from the directories listed in /opt/.filetool.lst).

if you need to save the root directory, put

root

in /opt/.filetool.lst

not /root/*

and not in /opt/.xfiletool.lst
Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.
