Retaining alsamixer settings between boots

hi
I would like to thank all members for their comments as I found this post by search.
however, it appears SamK did not use
--- Code: ---sudo alsactl store
--- End code ---
as we need root powers to write to /etc.

There seems to be some confusion here, perhaps I can help with a little clarification.
You are correct in observing that the use of sudo is required; behind the scenes I had also used sudo without success. This was due to the persistent storage configuration used on the machine, allied to the information in the wiki Core Concepts document.
I was trying to highlight that when following the guidance in Core Concepts (particularly persistence and storage), a user would not be able to follow the advice in alsa.tcz.info to make the alsa settings persist between reboots. Jason has subsequently added further guidance to the alsa information which can be used by those with persistent or non-persistent storage.

You might wanna have a look at http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=6943.0 in order to determine which files in /etc (and possibly other root dirs e.g. /usr) to save/backup ;)

You point to a fine piece of work. It gets a list of files from mydata.tgz, presumably created by filetool.lst. In the terms of this thread this may have limited the value of the script.
For this particular purpose filetool.lst and mydata.tgz are not used; this also correlates with the guidance given in Core Concepts relating to the backup of persistent storage.

When using the home boot code, mydata.tgz is not created - personal data backups must occur in a more traditional way.

Also I tried to indicate in my opening post that the standard TC backup will not be used. Amongst other reasons, it is intended that ultimately the machine will join a LAN based backup system.

Umm, have you looked at all options in detail? ???
