Title: Alsa not working after re-mastering tinycore
Post by: saravanan on March 01, 2010, 03:16:25 AM

Hi all,
           I re-mastered following the wiki page on re-mastering TC, when i add alsa.tcz and its dependencies in /opt/tce directory. Alsa works fine and also i can run the alsasound start.
But when i try to extract all contents into the base TC filesysetm from .tcz files by unsquashing them, i cant find the alsasound file.
Please Help.

Since many extensions require their startup scripts to be run in order to function, it is not recommended nor supported to extract the extensions contents into the tinycore.gz image during a remaster.  Some extensions may work that way, some may not.  Your first method of using /opt/tce is the correct and supported one.

As far as I recall, if a number of extensions are in a folder and you use the command "tce-load -i /path-to-folder/*" then the extensions will be loaded in alphabetical order.

If you specify a specific extension and it has a dep file, then the extensions will be loaded in the order in which they are listed in the dep file with the specific extension specified being the last to be loaded.
