microcore and startup script
« on: February 28, 2010, 10:51:08 AM »
A Linux Newbie using microcore 2.8 to build and test Lodable Kernel Modules.

So far, microcore has worked flawlessly and is amazingly simple to use. I have found the right linux to learn and build from. Thanks to the TinyCore and MicroCore team!

I have microcore installed (munally) on hard disks/compact flashdisks.

2 Questions:

1) How do I create a start up script to insmod my kernel modules at boot?

2) Is there an automated/scripted way to install microcore?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) add your commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh

2) the usbinstall script can be used, if erasing the target hd is acceptable.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thank You curaga for the quick reply.

Answer 1. Does that mean add a /opt/bootlocal.sh to my /mnt/hda1/ compact flash disk location? The actual /opt/bootlocal.sh location on my current system is running in RAM. I did not read how to make this persistent to the compact flash disk.

/opt/bootlocal.sh is part of your backup.
