How to disable GUI
« on: July 30, 2013, 10:40:06 PM »
Hi, I've just downloaded Tiny Core Linux image here for virtual box. It works like a charm and comes with a GUI.
http://virtualboxes.org/images/tiny-core-linux/

My question is it possible to disable the GUI. I just need the CLI, that's it.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I've tried that, but having this error when trying to install it to virtual box.

Why use a pre-made virtual drive?

better off getting the real deal from here http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html 

After installing it's easy to disable X apps from the onboot.lst  or remove them altogether using Apps

There is also a wiki  to help you get to know tinycore  here http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/

Also see boot code "text".

Hi Adam
Quote
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
I think it's now just called  core  and should read:
Code: [Select]
initrd /boot/core.gz

Thanks Rich, it works!!! No wonder I can't find tinycore & bzImage in this box

Quote
root@box:/# find / -name tinycore
root@box:/# find / -name bzImage
root@box:/# find / -name bzimage
root@box:/#

But vmlinuz file is there

Quote
root@box:/# find / -name vmlinuz
/mnt/sda1/boot/vmlinuz
root@box:/#

I should know this as there are only 3 files in /mnt/sda1/boot/ directory

Quote
root@box:/# cd /mnt/sda1/boot/
core.gz grub  vmlinuz
root@box:/#

Looks like the manual that I've followed here is not updated.
http://tinycorelinux.net/install_manual.html

But, I'll create a new one and publish it shortly.
Thanks to all who helped me to figure out this. I really appreciate it.
