PPI question-where does what file go in original apps.

--- Quote ---#copy some files if not there
if [ ! -f "$HOME"/.mediaswg ]; then
 cp -r /usr/local/mediaswg/skel/.mediaswg "$HOME"/
fi

This works fine loading optional, but on boot it puts the files in /.mediaswg so $HOME must not be set yet.  same problem with using sed on .jwmrc-tray (it creates /.jwmrc-tray).  Is $USER set yet or a way to tell where home is?

using tinycore_1.3 and 1.2

curaga:
I see the issue. A fix would be to add
--- Quote ---export HOME=/home/"$USER"
--- End quote ---
at line 277 in tc-config (right after the line "mkdir -p /home/"$USER"")

edit: this location is for tc2

roberts:
No user is logged in during booting. So / is normal during the boot process.
I have always used /home/"$USER" based on the default stored in /etc/sysconfig/tcuser.

this is the explanation of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:

Depending on how the application itself is run, I think it might not be the most reliable method to copy files to one specific user's during boot.  What happens if a different user logs in and tries to use the application...the mediaswg files don't exist for that user.
Also remember to chown files that are copied to an arbitrary user's directory.
