Adam, I don't know if you've figured this out yet but in your version of grub you should put additional commands after "quiet"

default 0
timeout 0
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet text
initrd /boot/core.gz
tc@box:/$

Here is the quick solution

--- Code: ---tce-load -wi Xvesa.tcz Xlibs.tcz Xprogs.tcz aterm.tcz flwm_topside.tcz wbar.tcz
--- End code ---

--- End quote ---
This assumes none of the extensions have been previously downloaded,  where tce-load will download and install each extension and their deps.

However, if one of the required extensions has been previously downloaded tce-load will report that *.tcz is already downloaded and will fail to install (the -i switch) and will not be loaded and available to startx

So, better to separate the commands

--- Code: ---tce-load -w Xvesa.tcz Xlibs.tcz Xprogs.tcz aterm.tcz flwm_topside.tcz wbar.tcz
tce-load -i Xvesa.tcz Xlibs.tcz Xprogs.tcz aterm.tcz flwm_topside.tcz wbar.tcz

--- End code ---
Then when you command "startx" all required components will be loaded

Just saying....



If the extensions are not normally loaded via "Onboot.lst" you might want to create a script to call when a desktop gui is desired, in which case use something like

--- Code: ---list="Xvesa Xlibs Xprogs aterm flwm_topside wbar"
for i in $list; do
  tce-load -w $i
  tce-load -i $i
done
startx

--- End code ---
