to install application like nano you must declare persistent storage , tce=hd??
read the core concept at http://tinycorelinux.com/concepts.html first.

- create a tce directory at the root of your hd
- put the nano extension into it
- boot and it will work
- make so with other extensions you might absolutely need
- for extensions you would only need occasionally, you can install them once in tc by opening appbrowser and choosing 'install' in the menu

do you use a backup or not (it saves your preferences registered in /home/tc)? if yes, do the backup on exit; this will create a small compressed archive which will automatically uncompressed (which means, it will restore your preferences) at boot. 

the faq is a good starting point; also look at the tips sections of the forum, it helps a lot

ALL OK ...

BTW:the dir's name must be "tce"?

If the directory is named "tce" it will be detected automagically at boot time, otherwise you would have to specify the directory on the kernel line in the bootloader (ie in menu.lst if using grub).

Hi All,

I am in a very similar trouble, though I have studied the TC Concepts page, as well as a lot of forum topics with relevance to this issue.
What I want:
- backup my settings on exit (name mouse speed, keymap and FireFox settings)
- restore all these when booting
What I experience indeed:
- settings (mouse speed, keymap, FF settings) are the default, instead of what I saved
What I did so far:
- My grub menu.lst looks like this:
            title tinycore
            root (hd0,2)
            kernel /boot/bzImage quiet tce=sda3 home=sda3 max_loop=255
            initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
- My apps are stored in folder /tce
- I have added "loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/hu.kmap" to /opt/bootlocal.sh. Anyway, this keymap works fine when started from prompt

So it seems I cannot backup any settings at all...

Ok, somehow I managed to have the keymap stuff work, but mouse speed is still reseted at every boot...

Open the Control Panel

Click "Backup/Restore"

Type "sda3/tce"

Click Backup
