Hello readers,
first of all... I don't know much about Linux itself.
I just used Linux Mint for a while and know some basic commands, thats all.
So comming from a Windows environment I have much trouble with getting even the simplest things to work.
But I am here to learn and I already made some progress with this OS, like downloading and setting up the keymap for my keyboard.
For now I had much fun with this small OS, using just a terminal and without a desktop manager but now I realised that after rebooting TC, all my work is gone. My files, the keymaps, just everything.
I have taken a look at the TC book and found a very short explanation about persistant home (Chapter 1.10.2).
But to be honest, I can't do much with it.
What I tried is: reboot and press F2 and typing "mc tce=sda1" without knowing what that should do. I also typed "backup" for whatever reason.
So I am asking for a simple beginner explanation how to get persistant files (in a virtual machine if this matters).
And maybe some background knowlege why I have to do this process manually where other OS'es have this feature build-in.
Thank you in advance
