Just -use the interactive script called 'mkpersistenthome'. It will either create a -file named grml.img on the specified partition or create a partition using the -ext2 filesystem (you can specify the option in a dialog inside the program). -grml.img is a loopback device which size you can specify manually. It is -possible to scan through the partitions to identify the appropriate partition. -To use a home-directory located on your hard-drive use the appropriate boot -parameter on bootprompt: - - home=/dev/sda3 => use /dev/sda3 as the homepartition - home=scan => scan through the available partitions and search for file grml.img - -Use persistent home directory -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -You want to use a persistent home directory which includes all the files located -in $HOME. Use the script mkpersistenthome to create such a persistent home -directory. You have the options to either use a specific partition as your home -directory or add a loopback file named grml.img on the specified partition (the -default). - -TIP: /dev/external in the partition selection of mkpersistenthome is an usb -device without partitions. /dev/external1 corresponds to the first partition on -an usb device (usually an usb stick). - -After running the script mkpersistenthome you can use the boot parameter home to -activate the home directory. If you are using the option with the loopback file -(grml.img) you can boot via: - - grml home=scan - -which will scan through the partitions and if a file grml.img is found it will -be mounted as your $HOME-directory. If you want to use a partition as your home -directory specify the device as an option. If you want to use /dev/sda2 as your -$HOME boot via: - - grml home=/dev/sda2 - -Notice: the files located in /etc/skel will be copied to the partition (but will -not overwrite any files). - -Bugs ----- -If you find a bug please report it.
