Hello,

here there is a virgin boot off CD disc of TCL 4.3.1

At the desktop the "tc-install" extension has been loaded.

Also there is a download of the most recent TCL "core.gz"
from TCL 6.2.

Is it possible to run the installer tool and point it
to this latest version of the core.gz file and make it
install the whole lot to hard drive.  Resulting in a working
tcl 6.2....?


alternatively if i download TCL 6.2 iso file what way is
there of installing this OS to a hard disc? (without burning
the file to CD disc first)

Use tc-install to install tc-4.3.1 to hd or usb stick.

Then, using core.gz and vmlinuz from tc-6.2, over-write the files just installed and re-boot.

Juanito,

many thanks for your reply.

Your idea has been mentioned before but it always presents lots of file permissions problems
and errors....if my memory serves me correctly

thanks

Juanito:
all you need is:
--- Code: ---$ sudo cp /path-to-6.2-files /mnt/sdb1/boot
--- End code ---
..where you replace /mnt/sdb1/boot with where tc-install put the 4.3.1 core.gz and vmlinuz

cast-fish:
did this with 6.4 but it does not work.

The Appbrowser only lists the repo............it won't allow anything to be installed.

Also "top" did not work from the TCL context menu at the desltop.

i presume 6.3 and 6.2 etc will be the same story?

permissions are identical to what they were for the "replaced" files that were in 4.3.1
