| dCore may well be installed to hard-disk in the same frugal way as on a [[dcore:usb_installation_test-drive|USB-stick]]. Here we consider, though, a full-fledged installation with persistent '/home/' and '/opt/', //Syslog//, multiple TTYs and some more goodies. There are quite some choices made and this exposition will give a basic, functional desktop. All of it can later be adapted to once likings. | dCore may well be installed to hard-disk in the same frugal way as on a [[dcore:usb_installation_test-drive|USB-stick]].

| The persistent directories will reside directly on hard-disk instead of being included into 'mydata.gz'. The advantage over the frugal installation is that there is no need for packing and un-packing those two, possibly quite large directories. | The persistent directories will reside directly on hard-disk instead of being included into 'mydata.gz'.

| | - Make the files available anywhere in the file system. |
| | - Upon first launching (cf. [[#First launch|below]]), copy the files into the tce-directory and proceed as [[dCore:Wireless set-up|instructed]]. |

| In principle, files under '/home' or '/opt' do not have to be included into 'mydata.gz' anymore. Any persistent file outside these two directories, e.g. configuration files under '/etc/', must be listed in '/opt/.filetool.lst', however, and such files only are backed-up upon request. | In principle, files under '/home' or '/opt' do not have to be included into 'mydata.gz' anymore.

| Thus it makes sense to clear out '/opt/.filetool.lst' (but leave the empty file in place!). However, the graphical log-out dialogue does not handle an empty 'mydata.gz' well. So create some empty file like '/var/.DUMMY' and add "var/.DUMMY" into '.filetool.lst' (notice the omitted initial slash!). | Thus it makes sense to clear out '/opt/.filetool.lst' (but leave the empty file in place!). However, the backup mechanism does not handle an empty 'mydata.gz' well. So it will automatically add "opt/.filetool.lst" to the file upon first occasion. Do not worry about that (but notice the omitted initial slash!). Launch ''backup'' for a first time then. ([[dcore:usb_installation_test-drive#backup|Recall]] that ''shutdown'' from the command line would not perform it on its own.) |
