Title: Tiny Core Project - HELP
Post by: Su30FlankerC on November 16, 2012, 08:26:24 PM

Hi everyone, I have been using Linux for quite some time now and I have tried a lot of distros a lot. Some good, some not really.
However, among all distros, Tiny Core has really caught my attention.

I have a special project:

First, I need to install Tiny Core in an XFS files system. I tried doing this but unfortunately, I get an error about "cannot mount USB device". The disk I am installing it in is a fixed HDD with a SATA Interface.

Second, can anyone help me in installing Oracle's VirtualBox into Tiny Core? I know there are a lot of emulators out there but this the one I'm really familiar with. I plan to virtualize Windows XP under a Linux operating system.

Thanks for all your responses.

Core base provides file system support for vfat and ext*.
For other file systems either a remaster is required or they can be mounted after loading corresponding extension.

Also:
- Please do not double post.
- For virtualization please peruse the corresponding subforum.

- post was in wrong section, moved
- please don't do that with the text. It's incredibly disrespectful. Edited to remove blinking, moving and so on.

Which particular extension shall I mount?
I'll try to search for more myself as well. Thank you very much.

filesystems*.tcz in order to mount and possibly xfs*.tcz for xfs specific utilities.

I am about to reinstall Tiny Core as soon as I get home. Where can I find this extension?

Can anyone provide a walkthrough? Thanks a lot.

The full name of the extension depends on your specific tinycore version. Just search for filesystems in the Apps browser.
