Hi adam0509

--- Quote ---ok well MAYBE, but then why is it the defaut directory ?

Because it's in an ISO which is a read only file system.

There's a  tc-install.tcz  extension that handles setting up a USB stick. It should be included in the  CorePlus  ISO. If you boot
CorePlus you could use  tc-install  to install to a second USB stick.

There's more information in the FAQs on the subject:

ok will check that tomorrown, 4:00 AM here being sleepy  :-[


last question:

"top" indicates I use 716996K. So that's 716Mb right ? How a ~200Mb linux distro that is supposed to be lightining fast and optimized can use so much ram memory ? Or Am I calculating wrong ? Is Kernel 4.19.10 that needy of Ram memory ? It's even more than a Tiny Windows 7.

EDIT : maybe because it's live launched and everything runs in the ram ?

Linux does not free up system memory when it is no longer in use. It frees it when it's needed by something else. So that's not a
good measure of required memory.

...
- Chromium (doesn't play youtube video)
- Firefox (Play video but no sound)
- alsa and a bunch of plugin (still no sound on youtube)

Hello Adam
After fixing your tce directory,  install firefox-getLatest.tcz(if you have’t already done so) and use it to install and/or keep firefox updated.
A few years back Mozilla made policy changes requiring “pulseaudio” to be installed and configured on the host system to make the audio connection between Firefox and Alsa drivers.

Remove all the alsa plugins as they’re likely not needed.
I noticed you’ve installed some dev extensions.
Note:  *-dev.tcz extensions are only required for those people who are compiling apps from source, so i recommend not filling up your USB tce directory with unnecessary bulk by cleaning those unneeded extensions.
Use APPS for maintenance and deletions of extensions.


Update Firefox

Before Installing pulseaudio.tcz,
first check that alsa is configured and performing correctly (the sound test is ok), then
Install pulseaudio.tcz  and be sure to follow the install instructions from the pulseaudio.tcz.info file
