I followed the instructions here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-slitaz-to-usb-from-windows/ and typed "slitaz home=usb" at boot. It creates a tux folder on the computers hard drive and stores all the data there instead of on my USB drive. How do I fix this?
enter Determine what name the computer gives the usb drive from the list that you want /home mounted on. Should fdisk -l say it's /dev/sdd use slitaz home=sdd
home=usb uses /dev/sda1 as default, so if your usb key is not /dev/sda you are in trouble. you better use home=uuid , where uuid is the uuid of the partition you want to use as home. you can find the uuid with the blkid command. in this way slitaz should use the partition in your usb key in every computer you use the key.
now you miss some files in /home/tux/ , you can copy them from the tux folder in your computer hard drive or copy them from the /etc/skel folder but in some file you should replace user_name with tux. check /etc/init.d/bootoptions.sh (or something like that) to know exactly wath slitaz do before you save some changes in the rootfs in your usb key
