This is my first linux thing ever so im not sure what im doing [but i am thoroughly enjoying learning the ropes!!], but anyway here goes...
i used the live cd and the "sudo usbinstall" thing to install TC on my usb drive and in "usbinstall" i told it to boot with these boot options;
waitusb=5
tce=sda1/tce/custom
backup=sda1/tce/custom/br
restore=sda1/tce/custom/br
I wasn't sure what to do with the /home/tc thing so i didnt put anything about it...
The first problem is my extensions and "mydata.tgz" went to "sda1/tce/" NOT "sda1/tce/custom/..."
Although my apps and settings were still there after reboot, so its not too bad...
First Question; Should i have created those directories [custom and br] before booting to make sure my settings and stuff was put into the correct folders?
Anyway, I was happy enough, coz my apps and stuff stayed. So i took my usb stick on the road to help me out at work and stuff...
The next problem was that when i plugged it into a "foreign" pc, it became "sdb1" not "sda1" due to the other devices that were plugged in, i guess.
So none of my apps or setting were restored, in fact i couldn't backup or restore anything, even when i tried to change the paths using the control panel "Backup/Restore" tool...
Second Question; What did i do wrong?
Third Question; How do boot options cope with changes in "mount points" ?? [if "mount points" is what i just described above, EG sda1]
Do i have to change my boot options every time a new pc gives me a different mount point??
Does it depend on the boot loader??
If there are (m)any underlying assumptions i have got wrong, anything im missing, or just some basic misconceptions etc etc Please help me out, as TC seems to be exactly what i need [if ive understood right] but i cant get it set up right...
Thanks in advance for any help and thanks for TC!!!
