How do I set the /home directory so that I can save settings and packages and boot up quickly with a live cd?

Hello danxaz,
If I remember (I don't use LiveCD for a long time, it's easier with LiveUSB) insert a USB key and boot the LiveCD.
At prompt (boot:) type home=usb and SliTaz will create the /home directory on it. That's all.Oh! I forgot: the key must be formated ext3 with Gparted (it has never worked when the key was formated with the line command # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1; don't ask me, I don't know why).

Better use fdisk -l to determine the partition you want /home to be mounted on.
Use home=sda1,sda2,sda3,etc..
home=usb equals home=sda1 which is not always what you want.
/home partition has to be formated to ext3 or another linux filesystem.
If /home is formated to fat32 or ntfs it breaks Xauth login.Posted 13 years ago #
