 + 
 +==== When Installed on a USB Drive ==== 
 + 
 +When setting up persistent home and/or opt in a USB drive, it is ideal to use the [[UUID]]. 
 + 
 +To set up persistent opt, edit the bootloader configuration file, adding persistent opt. 
 + 
 +If you have installed Tinycore using the installer, you should already have tce=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" (the number will be different). To set up persistent opt, copy the UUID number, like this 
 + 
 +<code>opt=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" tce=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6"</code> 
 + 
 +Use the UUID number for your USB drive. 
 + 
 +To set up persistent home, do the same for home. 
 + 
 +If you have not installed Tinycore using the installer, to find out the UUID, use 
 + 
 +<code>blkid -s UUID /dev/sda1</code> 
 + 
 +If not sda1, use the correct partition. 
 + 
 +==== Backup ==== 
 + 
 +If you use backup as well as persistent home and opt, edit /opt/.filetool.lst, delete all references to the home and opt directories (in the version I am using that is everything), then add a list of files and directories you want backed up to /opt/.filetool.lst.
