Hi Juanito
Or he may have included something in his backup that is causing problems.

Juanto (second to last post)

that is completely correct

but i seem to recall that if you rename that folder you mentioned then
tinycore boots up without finding any xvesa or anything to make a gui desktop.

since TCE is empty no?

Hi cast-fish
That's where this comes in:
tc-6.x will boot to the console prompt where you can enter something like:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -w Xvesa Xprogs flwm aterm wbar
$ tce-load -i Xvesa Xprogs flwm aterm wbar
..to get started
That installs the programs you need to start the GUI.

following J's istructions it just boots up to a boot prompt and says "error no configuration entry found"
"  etc...............and it won't do much of anything then....it seems

is that where i start typing console commands like Rich listed?.... to get the OS to boot?

Your bootloader config files may have been in /tce/boot.
You renamed it, so it cannot boot.
You would be better off adding a tce=tce6 to your boot options.

Why not just do a fresh install from the coreplus CD?

What do you mean by this? Was there an error message?

well Juanto.....i mean that trying to load up a gui etc did nothing

typing those advised commands the prompt just went back
to the  prompt......no error messages nothing at all

just back to the boot prompt

so "tce-load..." etc  etc  did not execute...nothing happened  at all

You don't run commands at the boot prompt.
