Persistent home and opt

The best way to run Tiny Core when installed on a hard drive, is using persistent home and opt.

To have persistent home and opt, add

opt=sda1 home=sda1

to the bootloader. If not in sda1, use the correct partition.

If you want to have persistent home and/or opt when installed on a USB drive, it is ideal to use the UUID. For more information, see Options when Installed on a USB Drive.

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.
