Store changes in Root

[heisen]

How do I store changes in / rather than in /mnt/live/memory/changes/ ??

[Ed_P]

Why? /mnt/live/memory/changes gets written to the /changes folder, or the porteussave.dat file in the /changes folder, on the system's drive when shutting down.

Cause I've installed it in my hdd as the only os

And /changes doesn't work for you?

It works but won't it take more storage than directly making the changes in root directory?

and what does this installation look like? if it's the standard porteus "frugal installation" there'll be three directories(with subdirs): boot, porteus and EFI and a file: USB_INSTALLATION.txt
this constitutes the "real root", in the sense that it exists on the hard drive even when powered off.
when you boot up, the root filesystem you see(/) exists only in RAM while the system is running, and any changes you make to it are reflected in /mnt/live/memory/changes(and in turn, then stored in /mnt/<yourHDD>/porteus/changes(if it's enabled))
so in this context(frugal installation facilitated by an AUFS enabled kernel) "storing changes in /" is meaningless since you can't store anything in a place that doesn't exist after the system is shutdown..

won't it take more storage than directly making the changes in root directory?

actually no, because the frugal installation, with it's xz compressed modules takes much less space than a conventional installation.
