I have installed tc 4.0 and am running it now. This post is from a vnc remote connection to my TC 4.0 server.
Looks good so far. Great work team tinycore!  :)

Hi TC members!

This is my first test running the stable TC 4.0 and everything seems good so far. A big hand to the TC team making this possible!!!

Have fun running this new and heavily updated version of TC,

What is the status of compiletc toolchain, regarding the 10-15% executable size increase? Updating extensions on 4.0 would bring unnecessary size increase, but do not want to use 3.8 for building. Maybe a temporary fix to keep GCC from 3.8  :-\
