Questions: Install Tiny Core without a CD or DVD drive

<< < (3/4) > >>

Not to mention "cloud" netboot services ala netboot.me (boot a gpxe image, chainload via http).

It remains though that one can't install to a linux fs from windows, and without a linux fs it's limited what can be done.

curaga:
Heh, I just tried that on bare gpxe :D

- download iso image with correct driver from rom-o-matic
- boot to cmd line (ctrl-b)
- "dhcp net0"
- "kernel http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/distribution_files/bzImage quiet"
- "initrd http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/distribution_files/microcore.gz"
- "boot"

Voila, cloud boot.

Hmm, perhaps netboot.me should update...

Their "Tonight's menu on BKO" does not look like it had been recently updated either, and TC is not featured when it would at least concerning size be more suitable in compared to several existing choices.

To be fair, there is an - at least initial - limitation with linux fs's other than ext* as well.
