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.
