OnDemand problem ?
labeas:
See TheBook re. "On demand" installation?
"20.4. Ondemand scripts.
If you install an extension as OnDemand, a script will be generated
for it under the ondemand/ directory...............
Example ondemand script:
#!/bin/sh
ondemand -e nano.tcz "
-----------
So, if the files-of-an-extention have been fetched other than by
the <Apps panel>, how will the "loading script" be generated, to
load-on-demand said extention.
-----------
Apps > Maintenance.
8.5. Onboot/ondemand maintenance.
These two modes allow you to add and remove extensions from the
onboot or ondemand lists..
Onboot.lst is a plain text file, so you can edit it with an editor of
your choice in addition to the GUI method listed. Ondemand items
are generated scripts, so managing them manually is discouraged..
!! <OnDemand GUI list> is empty ?? How to add items ??
Misalf:
"Apps" -> "Maintenance" -> "OnDemand Meintenance" ...
select an item from the list on the left, click on "Add Item" at the bottom.
This is how OnDemand scripts are generated for you.

NO!! apparently "list on the left" would only contain items which where
<fetched by APPS GUI in OnDemand mode>.
My "list on the left" is empty.
Wasn't that clear from my OP ?
How will privately fetched & installed *.tcz get into "list on the left"
when fetched by M$, before TC's WiFi is working ?

I'm not sure where that idea came from. Perhaps a better way to understand how this works is: The list in the left window pane under the heading "Select" indicates all extensions found in the tce/optional directory which are not yet installed "OnDemand". From this point follow the guide already given by Mysalf.

Expect this list on the right window pane of APPS

How any extension arrived within the tce/optional directory is of no consequence, as long as file permissions are set correctly.
To help get an idea of what to expect in each of APPS menu's and window contents I recommend this short video. Note the part from 3 min 55 seconds into the movie regarding ondemand
http://tinycorelinux.net/videos/apps.html
Also see Chapter 20 of the CoreBook
FYI: If installed to a HDD or USB drive then tce/optional directory as specified in the boot config file is where all extensions are stored, regardless of whether they were installed onboot, ondemand, or simply downloaded.
The very last line within the APPS main window indicates the current location of the tce/optional directory.

Dude, these movies are great! Especially for those who don't want to read the book. :p
Didn't they used to be in the wiki?
