Newbie question about whether TCL will work for me
« on: July 27, 2017, 11:02:33 AM »
Hi.  I have a question about whether Tiny Core will work for me.  I require a Chromium/Chrome browser (I sync bookmarks with a Chromebook, and this is crucial).  Iron Browser no longer lets you sync with Google servers.  Yuck!  I also need to run an old version of Thunderbird (45.x).  This is one of the last versions that doesn't mess up the reply function.  Another yuck!  I need to play videos, sync with Dropbox, and use Calibre to convert ebooks.

Yes, quite a listing. Can this be done with Tiny Core?  Thanks.

Some of that software doesn't exist in the repos, meaning you need to compile it.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
