How to remember settings?

<< < (2/10) > >>

roberts:
The answer would be to copy the two files bzImage and tinycore.gz into another partition and point grub to it, That way you add/edit the needed boot options via grub. TC can live peacefully with other grub installed distributions.

Artie:
I don't have grub, just two partitions with two pup_save files from Puppy Linux which I boot from cd. Some weird problems have also cropped up, like Opera and Minefield don't scroll properly with a standard ps/2 mouse. It's very jerky and when I scroll the wheel down the page goes up... too late at night to try to solve that. Will get back on the forum if I decide to give it another try. Thanks for help.

in the future, someone is going to have to write a "getting started with tc for dummies" page. it's very good in that it includes all the information needed, but i'll be looking forward to reading the "dummies" version as much as anyone. i tried to read the entire thing, but since i don't trust the restore options of most distros anyway, of habit i pretty much do it my own way if at all. not a great option for most people, unless they like "cloud." cloud is very tc, i like it, but i would never want it if it was the only option.

Artie:
I like the concept and I'll probably give it a try later, but I'll wait until it has matured a bit more and gotten understandable. I managed to save Firefox and Opera but when I tried to scroll in both it was borked. Wish the developers could copy the way Puppy does it.

if you were more specific i might agree, although i hope tc strives to be more consistent and to say the least, smaller than puppy. sometimes that means not matching another distro, (including dsl... although if they're going to match a distro per feature, i'd rather see it dsl-like.)
