Completely persistent system ?
« on: March 08, 2015, 10:59:40 AM »
I know Tiny Core is running entirely in RAM, but I'd like to avoid this behaviour. So my simple question is: How can I make it use a disk as root directory ? So there's no need to save everytime and if some program writes to the filesystem the memory won't fill up.

Search the forum for the term "scatter mode" or just "scatter".

Then don't do it.    :)

32 bit core4.7.7, Xprogs, Xorg-7.6, wbar, jwm  |  - Testing -
PPR, data persistence through filetool.sh          |  32 bit core 8.0 alpha 1
USB Flash drive, one partition, ext2, grub4dos  | Otherwise similar
