-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).
