Hey in case you are wondering yes im i windows user and now for my question
When i use the USB drive at my house i have all of my files saved on my usb device (i thought) then i take my usbdevice to school and when i run it on the school computers all my settings are gone (weird i know) but when i come home and run slitaz from my laptop all my settings restore is there i certan file that i need to add to the backup file and what do i need to type i already added [slitaz home=usb] after the big command well i have
is this the correct thing i need to have to allow me to use my usb at school.
this is not as important as the wireless problem that i am still trying to fix i had to download the files from my windows laptop and then i will figure out what to do from there
PS this is the second best os that i have ever used but it is in my top 5 for portable os second to windows thanks
Does your data appear on your laptop when you boot into Windows? If not: Slitaz might see /dev/sda (usually an SATA or a USB drive) as your USB stick (in the home=usb option), and that is correct for your laptop (as it might have an IDE drive; therefore, it would show up as /dev/hda). However, since the computer at school may have an SATA drive, _that_ will appear as /dev/sda, and your USB stick as /dev/sdb - your data won't be in /dev/sda.
*** Simple Solution ***
So when you go to school, try changing home=usb to home=/dev/sdb1 .
ok i have noticed that when i use both the school and home computer when i open the gpart it says that sda is my laptop/school hdd as a usb so i willtry your option at home after school thanks matt
Hey i tryed your idea and it worked(sofar i will check @ home today) right now i restarted the school computer 3 times and it worked 2 times the first time it was i typeo i needed to put home=/dev/sda1 but i had home=/dev/sdb1 it turns out that the computer sees the hdd as something like dev/sda and my usb drives as /dev/sda1 or sdb1 etc so thanks again and now im back to the wireless problem again O_o i still can't get it working i need further help
