TC 2.3 - Boot sequence
JoXo009:
In FAQ I read
--- Quote ---What is the boot architecture?
Tinycore always boots to ram
--- End quote ---
OK. That'a the principle. But what are the single steps?
Could someone explain in which sequence which files (especially which scripts) are called to make that result come true.
-----
The actual reason for my above question is that uncommenting the line
--- Code: ---[ "$ICONS" == "wbar" ] && /usr/bin/wbar.sh
within the file /home/tc/.xsession
--- End code ---
worked in TC version 2.2 but doesn't work in version 2.3 anymore.
TC version 2.3 presents the wbar even if I don't want it.
But instead of solving that special question I would apreciate to know which files I could study to find the answer myself.
----
When describing the general sequence of boot scripts
perhaps additional to the script's location and name you could mention if that script originally is contained in
A) bzImage or
B) tinycore.gz.

Here's an additional screenshot demonstrating my wbar problem
= wbar showing up even if it is uncommented in .xsession
This install uses the window-manager jwm whereas the original TC 2.3 uses flwm.
To change from flwm to jwm I just installed jwm but did nothing to get rid of flwm - maybe that's the reason of the strange wbar behaviour.
Guy:
You could use Microcore and leave out wbar.

Interesting link - thanks.
Even though leaving out may not be an option if I want to be able to switch on/off wbar with a simple reboot.

wBar issue solved:
The wbar.sh script is called twice, within
.xsession and
.setbackground
and both calls need to be deactivated, if wbar shouldn't be started.
This Roberts posting helped me to find a solution.

Besides this actual problem I would be interested to learn more about boot sequence files.
For example to solve another problem, I just posted.
