I'm an old programmer (since the days of dos)

I need a basic command line to start my software from a CD or pen drive, on all computers directly through the bios, without needing Windows or other operating systems

also using a distro oriented should modify it to make it a command line with ntfs support and mount all drives

and use tiny core because preparing it with your help, will help me to learn a lot about Linux

I know many linux commands, use the command line very well, but I do not know how to configure/prepare and compile, for this I would like to learn

What software is it you want to run?
Why do you need ntfs?
Why do you want to mount all drives?
Without a clear definition of the goal, it is difficult to give recommendations.

I'm designing a software that boots from CD to repair a windows system not functioning properly, and to make backups of personal data on external hdd

I need to see all the drives and access to drive ntfs

There are CDs for this already. To name a few:
System Rescue CD
Recovery is Possible
Ultimate Boot CD

And by the way, automounting your damaged filesystem is a really bad idea.

If you want to edit files for UNIX-like operating systems under windows, then you must always run 'dos2unix' on them, this is not even particular to Linux.

Gerald_clark
I have to create this program, which will be fully automated for my clients,

linux distro for recovery are another matter, that have nothing to do with my program

I asked for help to mount all drives and add the ServerX to my mini-iso

you're making me the third degree without help

The third degree was to attempt to help you find something ready made you could use.
Good luck with your custom programming.

Not sure what you refer to as "other problems", but the intended indiscriminate force mounting of filesystems at boot has a high potential to create serious problems in general, and more particularly so with ntfs in read-write mode.

no problem,
I ask only one command line prompt and with all the mounted drives,
I'll take that responsibility on the potential consequences to the file system,

15 years ago based my low-level software on DOS,
which gave me access to all drives and a command line,

DOS is now obsolete, does not read ntfs, does not support LBA48, does not support AHCI, reads only a few dozen mb of ram, does not support long file names,

for this I am trying to build me a replacement based on a linux operating system that is very good, in some respects the best

Hi casey
Read this thread:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,12356.msg66630.html#msg66630
You will find knowing how to write a script (batch file) is a very useful skill to have when working under Linux.

thanks for reporting,
I will study the topic given to you, and I will try to create a working script,

can you help me to enter the ServerX in my Core-current.iso?
and let me know how to start it when I need it?

I need that in ServerX appear only the command line, without the bar style application Mac OS
