Title: how to make OSS installation persistent in the Fourth Mode of Operation?
Post by: blazej on July 04, 2009, 07:55:39 AM

Hi

I'm new to TC, just installed it yesterday on my eee pc 701. It works great!

But I cannot install OSS extension - it dissapears after reboot.
It seems that the files are installed in the "/" instead of the "/usr/local"

Is there a way to install it permanently?

Cheers

Blazej

You don't mention which kind of installation you're using, but if you create a folder named /tce, any extensions copied to there will load automatically on boot - for more details, see the wiki

as for my installation: I made bootable USB using unetbootin and then installed from USB to the internal SSD following the http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html guide. I'm using local=sda2 and home=sda2 boot options.
so it is PPI/TCE installation I guess...

Thanks for the tip! creating /mnt/sda2/tce directory and copying the OSS.tcem there helped.

However it seems bit strange that the OSS.tcem installs itself to the /lib/modules while other
extensions (ALSA for example) seem to use persistent /usr/local/lib/modules. Is it intentional?
