How to remember settings?

Therefore no restore occurs, you would have to add the boot option of restore=hda1/tce

If you want autoscan to find your backup/restore then you should simply specify the backup of hda1
That is don't use a subdirectory.

This is covered in the Getting Started document, see Backup/Restore section.

I have that boot option setup in grub/menu.lst but no joy.
When I click on the BACKUP/RSTORE button and type in hda1/tce, I can restore my settings.
It just does not seem to work on bootup though.

roberts:
Post your grub menu.lst

8-bit:
This is my grub menu.lst entry for booting frugal tinycore:

# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title Tiny Core Linux .9
  root (hd0,0)
  kernel /tce/bzImage quiet
  initrd /tce/tinycore.gz tce=hda1/tce restore=hda1/tce
# Linux bootable partition config ends

As you can see, I have my tinycore subdirectory and restore directory both set up.
Do I need to specify the mydata.tgz file in the restore parameter?
Also, I get a message that my AMD duel core processor does not support write combining.
I also get 2 messages about init 10, But they are on bootup and they do not stay long enough to be able to remember them in their entirety.
I also tried to put the boot parameters on a line after the initrd one as a test.
  I am open to trying a known working grub menu.lst entry for a frugal install given an example.

tobiaus:
i think the problem is that you're pointing restore and tce to hda1/tce

i believe if you just point tce=hda1 restore=hda1 tc will find the tce folder and the restore file. also i thought those went on the kernel line? maybe not.

curaga:
You need to move those options to the kernel line for them to work.
