how to install from local repository and make extension permanent after reboot

(1/2) > >>

Hello:
I use TC 3.0 and I love it. I use it on several machines and I have about 10-15 extensions I like and want on every machine. I downloaded the extensions from ibiblio and installed from this repository and all installed extensions are now permanent. ( I booted with tinycore tce=hda1)

As far as know, now I have all extensions and all depend. somewhere on my machine and a onboot list. So the applications show up after each reboot.

Here is what I want to do. I would like to grab all these applications and deps and necessare config files and transfer them to another machine and have them installed there and they should stay permanen after rebooting.

Can sombody help me on this please?

Thank you so much
beerstein

Try to tar the whole ../tce/ as is, copy it to new location, untar it and specify tce= as adequate as boot parameter.

Thank you so much for your hint.  So I need to copy the .tar file over and then start the new system with:

tinycore tce=hda1  or whatever permanent partition I want to select.

Did I get this right?

...except form forgetting to untar  ;)

Attention!

The directory tce also contains the backup file mydata.tgz. If  you copying this you will receive (more or less) a clone of the other machine including home-directory, user settings etc.. Maybe you want to have exactly that, but you need to know what you're doing. If you really want to do, you must after untar reboot WITHOUT backup option or first unpack mydata.tgz manually and then reboot with backup option.

Moreover, this solution will not work if you have to load special things for the machine (like firmware) via onboot.lst cause this file is also part of the tce-dir. This you will have to subsequently re-edited onboot.lst manually.

I would simply copy the directory tce/optional with a USB stick or network share and then adjust the file onboot.lst by hand.
