How to remember settings?

(1/10) > >>

Artie:
I have a cd with your iso on it and a USB HDD with an EXT3 formatted partition called /dev/sda3. I want to install programs and have them come up automatically from the USB HDD partition next time I load the CD. How do I do that? I tried reading the Getting Started page but couldn't understand anything. Einstein is dead, but Stephen Hawking might possibly understand your Getting Started page...  ???

Cliff Notes version of Getting Started:

Boot your TinyCore CD with the additional boot codes of tce=sda3 restore=sda3
Then use the appbrowser to download your selected applications.
They will be written to /mnt/sda3/tce
Upon shutdown your /home/tc will be written to /mnt/sda3/mydata.tgz
The next time you boot you don't need to specify tce=  or restore= boot options.
If your USB drive is slow you may also need to add waitusb=5 as an additional boot option.

Artie:
Loaded cd, wrote "tce=sda3 restore=sda3", enter, got "Could not find kernel image: tce=sda3"

Jason W:
the boot code would be

tinycore tce=sda3 restore=sda3

That should work.

Artie:
Thanks. Been experimenting. Only way I can reboot with programs saved is if I write "tinycore restore=sda3 waitusb=5" every single time I reboot. Installed Opera and it worked. By the way, you should update your Opera...
