Hello Jason, I don't understand why. DBus is loaded. My computer is portable, Compaq R3344EA, P4, 2.8 GHz, 512 RAM (BIOS reports 384 MB). I load TinyCore directly from .Iso image file with Grub4Dos. Extensions are located in /mnt/hda1/tce and, after loading TinyCore, takes 64 MB. I load extensions using "ondemand" scripts.
What to do?
