Help getting tce's to persist on usb flash drive

<< < (3/3)

gax:
yes, this is just what happens with my system:
I boot from CD with two USB stick(s) / SD-card(s) in card-readers (connected to a hub already at power-on) and get them randomly attached as sda1 and sdb1 when running TC,
whereas with DSL I always get them in the same order, just depending on which slot they are attached to (for months now).

???

tobiaus:
if it helps, you can use the uuid to represent the usb device with the latest version.

that means not only is it always the same from boot to boot, but from computer to computer, regardless of how many drives you're using or what order you plug them in.

Update:

Downloaded TinyCore 2.0rc1 tonight and used the iso and unetbootin to create a bootable USB stick ( one of the original two Transcend sticks which I could not previously mount). Success ! . Tried also mounting the other previously unmountable stick - it also is now mountable.

Looks like there is more support in TC2 for these pendrives ?. Either way I'm happy as they are now working for me.  ;D

From browsing the forum topics I notice that a lot of the newbie type queries seem to relate to persistency questions - might it be possibe to have a subforum for newbie/beginner questions ? For anyone else trying to get their head around tce/tcz/etc I found this reply http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=1218.msg7558#msg7558  particularly helpful.

Thanks for help to date
