Hi all,

Using Linuxcoin on five boxes at the mo and think it's great.

Installed on 2GB USB sticks with 1GB for the image and 1GB as persistent storage.

I have worked out how to start AMDOverdriveCtrl (to load the correct fan profile) and the miners automatically on boot, but cannot work out how to get the initial boot to default to starting with persistent storage - consequently every reboot requires manual intervention.

Is there an easy way to set the default boot option to be the "Linuxcoin (persistent)" one?

I have looked through the boot menu structure (seemingly at /isolinux/live.cfg on the ISO) and it would seem to indicate that the default is to boot the persistent version....
Code:
default LinuxCoin_persistent
however, this is not what I am seeing - after it boots the default option, /dev/sda2 is mounted on /media/live-rw rather than /live/cow (which is where it's mounted if I explicitly select the persistent option) and tmpfs is mounted on /live/cow.

Anybody any ideas?

Cheers and thank you,

Niccy.
