Title: Downloading tinycore packages and installing offline?
Post by: Identityless on May 19, 2010, 04:37:55 PM

How could I download tinycore packages and install them offline/not running tinycore? I'm currently editing the iso but can't find out how to download tinycore packages or install them in this manner. Could someone help me out?

(offtopic: is there an irc channel for tinycore?)

I'm sure you are aware the the list of extensions for TC 2.x can be found here (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tcz_2x.html). This page contains direct links to all of the supporting files (e.g. 915resolution.tcz.info (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/915resolution.tcz.info))

The whole "secret" is that the "*.tcz" files are all in that same directory and could therefore be downloaded directly, e.g. via
    wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/915resolution.tcz

Regrading your IRC question: at the bottom of the welcome page (http://tinycorelinux.com/welcome.html) the IRC channel irc://irc.freenode.net/tinycorelinux is mentioned.
