Hi,

I am relatively now to the whole linux thing. And it is a lot to take in.

Anyway I want to have a core bootable iso which has a few non-standard programs (gcc, nano and bless. I can't seem to find bless though in tce-load). I have no idea how to do this as if I make a cd and install the programs the next reboot they are gone.

I also want to disable the boot prompt and boot into root and then start a program. so Basically I start the pc and the application does its thing.

I such a thing even possible?

Misalf:
You can edit the .ISO with IsoMaster in order to easily add extensions and also edit the onboot.lst to always have them loaded.
And read here:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:integrating_extensions

Further you can edit the bootloaders config file and add the boot code "superuser".
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:boot_options

For auto starting programs you would have to edit  /opt/bootlocal.sh  or  /opt/bootsync.sh .
Both are located in the  core.gz  file which you have to edit.

I did not try yet to add a  mydata.tgz  into an ISO. If possible, that might make the process of configuring apps to autostart at boot slightly easier.

gerald_clark:
If you want to boot off CD with no persistent storage, you will need to remaster.  See the wiki.
/opt/bootlocal.sh is user to run non-interactive programs as root at boot time.
Other options are to modify /root/.profile.

Doing a web search for "bless", it seems to depend on gtk-sharp and mono, neither of which would be available in 5.x repo at current, so you might consider using 4.x.

tinypoodle:
Searching some more it appears that bless is/was a project in "Development Status: 2 - Pre-Alpha" which has neither released any code nor fixed any reported bugs since more than 5 years...

Unless you mean something else than the hex editor, either way whenever referring to rather unknown apps it could not harm to provide a link ;)
