Persistent HOME in OPT folder

[Mzem]

Hi!

I'm trying to make home and opt folders on the USB persistent. I'm using TinyCore. I followed this page
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/faq.html
and this
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:boot_codes_explained

but when I set all up and reboot, I get this error message:
persistent HOME not supported in  Microsoft File System
request for persistent HOME on sda1 ignored
Press any key.

I'm using syslinux configuration file.

Anybody know what is the problem here?


Thanks
Mzem

syslinux.cfg looks like this:

label ubnentry0
menu label Boot TinyCore
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
append initrd=/boot/core.gz  quiet waitusb=5 tce=sda home=sda

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Mzem
I think persistent  /home  and  /opt  require a Linux file system (ext2, ext3, or ext4).

Thank you for your reply. 
I understand this, but how can I make bootable USB with Linux file system(ext2, ext3,ext4)?

dd the plus image to a USB drive.  Boot it and use it to install to another USB drive.
Please read the book.

..or use the tc-install extension

Thank you Juanito and gerald_clark for you reply.
I was trying to make ext4 bootable usb from ubuntu and didn't succeed. I try Juanito's suggestion and I was able to make persistent directories.
Again thank you both of you.
