Operating Systems Linux Tinycore not saving application installs Post 302521176 by Corona688 on Tuesday 10th of May 2011 12:20:20 PM

I can't tell without seeing your system, but I suspect that you're actually operating inside an initramfs RAMdisk. It populates the RAMdisk from file when it loads, then otherwise ignores it. To get things added to that, you need to update that file.

here is as much information as I have on initrd. Be careful when working with yours, you could easily make a system unbootable by building it wrong or not having the correct permissions on things.

NAME
curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ] #include <curses.h> int beep(void); int flash(void); DESCRIPTION
The beep() and flash() routines are used to signal the terminal user. The routine beep() sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if pos- sible; if that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visible bell), if that is possible. The routine flash() flashes the screen, and if that is not possible, sounds the audible signal. If neither signal is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible sig- nal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen. RETURN VALUES
These routines always return OK. ATTRIBUTES
