DSL Embedded :: Configuring for Persistence

Hello, all.

In order to get around some of the systems at my school, I have put DSL embedded onto a small USB stick that I carry around with me. The USB has two partitions: LINUX, and FILES. I would like to configure DSL so that my home directory is on the FILES partition, and persistent accross sessions. How would I do this?

Thanks,

Use the cheatcode "home="
See wiki, etc. for more information.

Beware of limited writes, etc. on your device though.

^thehatsrule^, while I understand the idea of the cheatcodes, I'm not sure how I'd need to edit/tweak my /etc/fstab to allow me to mount the other partition of my USB drive(or do I have to?) - what would it be called for me to mount it?

Also, where would I put the cheatcodes if I was loading embedded using a bat file?

Ah, didn't see this under dsl-embedded.

I suppose it depends on how you are planning to use it... you could use the virtual harddisk (probably safer), etc. - see readme.txt

For the cheatcode you could just add them to the rest of them, in the -append "" section.
If you insist on only modifying fstab, then you can boot with the cheatcode "nofstab" and use your own ( mount /home )

I think that I will just add the cheatcode to the -append "" section for now, and see how it goes. How would I refer to my partition, though?
