Title: combined save folder
Post by: ulfr on November 11, 2015, 07:46:46 PM

   first let me thank everyone that has made tinycore possible
   it is THE best designed linux distro period

  I dont think this is an option but

  what i would like as an option is to have all my persistent save folders saved to a single folder
  that is a tcsave folder that would have /home /opt /root /tce and everything else inside
  the boot options would then be
  tcsave=sda1 - tc will use the tcsave folder on sda1
  tcsave=no - tc will not use any tcsave folder
  or no boot code - tc will look for the first tcsave folder and symlink with it   
 
  these are just my thoughts
  i know this would require modifications of scripts etc
  so i am not asking anyone to do work they are not interested in
  i intend to look at the scripts anyway 

  thanks again for making tinycore
  it is my primary distro and a joy to use

That would be unnecessarily complex, restrictive, and confusing.
It would be better and easier to just allow opt= and home= to specify a base directory.
That, however is not the way it is currently.

Not complaining at all, really enjoying TinyCore, but it would be nice to be able to specify directory/s. :)

Hi!

You can search the forum for "custom boot codes" and implement your own solution.
