Title: Level Of Difficulty(Newbie)
Post by: Fls Core on September 07, 2010, 11:45:05 AM
How hard would the following be:

I wish to create a version of Tiny Core Linux that will have only FL Studio(Win Xp Executable), Jack, and Wine(WineAsio) installed(Maybe Firefox),with possibly Fluxbox as the window manager.


p.s. I have a little bit of terminal/Command line experience, so I'm not afraid to use it.

P.S.S Also would it be difficult to implement the real-time kernel.

@Fls Core: Hi!  Hope you find TC Linux a good base for your custom spin.  Have your read all the Remastering section of the wiki? (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/Remastering (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/Remastering))  Also, maybe post specific questions to the Remasters/Remixes section of the forum. (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?board=43.0 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?board=43.0))

Good luck!

I will have a look at those today, however I have a problem that's preventing me from starting. I have downloaded the ISO and when I reboot my laptop, it starts to load, a strange "PCI:Address space occupied" error shows, disappears and then the X Window shows with just the x cursor and then freezes.

I'm at work at the moment and I will try burning another CD, but perhaps someone can shed some light on this for me.

What would cause the live CD to freeze at the start of the X Window?

At the boot prompt you could try "text" so that things stop before it starts the x window.

If this works, it would allow you to try some more troubleshooting from the command line

I will try that when i get off work.

Thanks to you both.

Once you're at it, an additional boot param of "syslog" couldn't harm for troubleshooting
(creates log under /var/log/messages)

Not recognized by BIOS vs. not recognized by motherboard are totally different things.
