    Shut Down/Restart Button Pops on Without Initiating It.

    Perhaps your system is set to shutdown after a certain time of inactivity; unfortunately, watching video without any physical input can also trigger it - check your 'power' settings....

    I can't understand this linux command for Tinycorelinux i will explain in this POST which is its use ?

    You set this to be the permanent storage for your programs - in your case, it should be set to tce=sdb1

    usb boot issue

    From what I see written above, it sounds like you installed the boot loader to the wrong disk - make sure you install it to the pendrive, & not your internal disk.

    I partitioned the disk but it's not showing in <df -h>

    I can tell you that the /dev/loop are mounts to your snap packages. I don't quite understand your partitioning, you say you created a 4th, but it doesn't show up anywhere? Presumably overwritting what was on them - but then you say your /home is intact, in its original partition?

    Migrate data from Centos 7 to Ubuntu LTE from VMware

    If we are just talking data, you can back it up to an external disk, & then reinstall it onto the other system(s).

    My curiosity remains about FreeBSD

    FreeBSD has always, to my mind, been a pig to install, that's why I chose OpenBSD myself, but have also liked NetBSD, but couldn't get wifi working, until 9.3, so now I will use both Open & Net, as secondary systems. For FreeBSD, I use Nomad, (there is also Ghost). Something else you might like...

    Linux booting

    Sounds like you either didn't install the boot loader, or you installed it to a partition, & not the drive. (sda = drive / sda1 = partition)

    .....& why don't we have that cranking handle anymore, so useful on cold days when your battery wasn't up to the job. ....but, I'm glad that vacuum wipers went the way of the DoDo.
