Ok, this works for me, but as I say I've to check with a ro medium.

Yes they look good. If you check Options / Books directory, does it
point to this location as well?

Seems that it can't find the books, another idea would be that it tries
to "learn" which would also require a writable dir. (I'm not sure in
that regard).
I'll try to get a windows and a Scid on a ro medium to check this.

The tactical game just does not use the usual book but a short list of
common openings which goes a few moves deep. Tactical game is mainly a
restricted engine strength game and it would probably not make much
sense to come up with a really deep opening book here. If you want a
very specific line you could set up the starting position and play from
there on. Alternatively, you can just select a serious game probably
with an (UCI) engine that allows to limit its strength. From the freely
available engines I only know that Homer has this feature (didn't try
this engine in detail) in the commercial field there should be several
available. I know of Shredder 9, 10, 11 to have this, AFAIK Rybka does
have this function as well, and you can of course weaken an engine by
it's personality settings (though this might mean to fiddle around at a
bunch of screws).

It should be gone if you disable the autosave options in Options /
Autosave Options on exit.
