difficulty creating a bootable TC64 USB stick with persistence

(1/2) > >>

I want to make an bootable USB stick with persistence (mydata folder).  So with 1st USB stick I used dd command (TinyCorePure64-current.iso) and was able to boot into a graphic desktop but could not figure out how to setup backup folder.  So I installed tc-installgui and made a 2nd USB.  I was able to boot (corepure64) but ended up only with a prompt and not a graphic interface and not sure how to proceed.

I need a bootable USB stick with persistence with JWM graphic interface.  I was able to do this with TC14 (32bit) but am lost...  Can I do this with the 1st USB stick?

Hi, puppybyte.

Just some suggestions.
Boot 1st USB and load tc-install
Install in "net" source "frugal" mode to get a bootable corepure64
Boot corepure64 with your 2nd stick

--- Code: ---tce-load -wi Xfbdev-jwm-desktop.tcz
--- End code ---
Or choose Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz if Xfbdev doesn't work for you.

thanks, I appreciate your careful input.
in 1st USB: After answering yes to whether I want boot loader installed, I get a question Install Extensions from this TCE/CDE Directory? I just entered y and proceeded.  Am not sure whether this is right.
in 2nd USB: I tried tce-load -wi Xfbdev-jwm-desktop.tcz and when I rebooted I get an error: something waitUSB error after startx command.  I also tried  Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz (after reformating using 1st USB) but I get a blank blinking cursor (waited for about 2min).  What do u thinkg?

You'll likely need to install graphics-KERNEL and possibly some firmware extensions for your laptop
What does dmesg say ?

--- Code: ---dmesg | tail -n 30 > /tmp/dmesg.txt
--- End code ---
