Title: tcpackagetool -- tool for downloading Tiny Core packages
Post by: fazzone on February 28, 2010, 09:25:38 AM

So yesterday I found Tiny Core Linux through DistroWatch, and I thought it would be perfect for some of the old machines I had lying around.  Unfortunately, the machine I was interested in using Tiny Core with had no connection to the Internet.  So I wrote this little tool in Java to download Tiny Core packages so I could burn them to CD and install them offline.  Anyway, I thought it might be useful to someone else here, so I'm posting both the binary and the source.

Version 0.02 - now you can type (for example) "java tcpackagetool compiletc" or "java tcpackagetool compiletc.tcz" instead of having to type out the full URL.  You can still type out a full URL if you want to download from some repository other than the default.
