Hi,
I am an absolute newbie to Tinycorelinux and downloaded the latest release at http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/releases/RPi/piCore-13.1.0.zip. As the things stand, after flashing the img file to the usb I can boot up the Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB quite well.
However, here onward I find it quite difficult to get any step further since I am not able to find any systematic guideline(s) for the installation on a Raspberry Pi on the Internet.
Could someone please let me know where to find this information? Thanks a lot!
Greetings,
MA

Hi, Maniaak.
Welcome to our forum.
Since you're using Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB, I suggest you remake your SD card with a 64-bit OS.
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/piCore64-13.1.zip (http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/piCore64-13.1.zip)
Make sure you read the instructions for more details.
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/README (http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/README)
As a beginner, you could try the default desktop, after you resize your partition.

Hello TinyCoreTeam,
this ist just the hurdle I succeeded to overcome.
After downloading piCore-13.1.0.zip I could write it with balena-etcher to a 32 GB mmc using a laptop with LinuxMint.
This mmc boots fine in a Raspi 4, but to increase mmcblk0p2/ to full size of the chip I had to fall back to my laptop,- it works.
With tce-load -wi I first loaded nano.tcz which is apparently the only prog that works without GUI. Sometimes this is useful.
Again with tce-load -wi I added Xorg, jwm, wbar, alsa, alsa-utils, alsa-plugins, pulseaudio, pcmanfm, firefox, all working fine.
I also installed kmaps.tcz and added loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap to /opt./bootlocal.sh but no effect.
What am I missing? Thanks for your friendly help!

Found the solution: it's Xorg
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24864.msg158323.html#msg158323
I've been running into this problem about one year before, and had received a solution by your friendly colleages, that is applicable also here.
Thanks very much!

Hi chattrhand
If you are using the loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/ ... command, it belongs in bootsync.sh , not bootlocal.sh.
On the subject of kmaps:
kmaps only affects the console and Xvesa, not Xorg.
