Not really, Sherlock. Since some settings are indeed in /root, others are in /home/username , when you log in as user "username" [and unless you tweak your Porteus as I do, that user is usually "guest" and so the path with some settings is /home/guest ] , while even other settings are to be found in /etcwread wrote:Do it the hard way:
When you have customized Porteus to your taste, copy the contents of /root to /porteus/rootcopy and you are done. By the next boot you will have it as desired!

store this module outside of the aufs- (porteus) filesystem e.g. in the optional Folder.
Next time you boot into allways fresh, activate this module logout/in, should work.

When it's indeed a "changes" module that gets created at logout andput into /porteus/base or such, it is -ro by default.datruche wrote:Make a "changes" module which you can activate the next time you boot in "allways fresh"mode:
