-  * [[installing_tc_-_alternate_offline_guide|Manually Install Tiny Core on a Hard Drive without Internet]]+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.
