[SOLVED] Quick & Easy Overview NOT up-to-date?
« on: November 22, 2011, 05:41:36 AM »
I found the Quick & Easy Overview very helpful in understanding tiny core concepts, especially in regard to difference between the 3 modes (cloud vs. USB Stick vs. USB Stick Boot).

But when I tried to follow the instructions in it, I became confused:

According to the overview, the two USB Stick modes require typing "tinycore waitusb=10", but the actual F2/F3/F4 prompt says "tc waitusb=10".

Which is the correct one? tinycore or tc?

Hi lumosy
Follow what the prompt says since it should be more up to date. Also, please read this:

They both work.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Hi curaga
Yes they do, but, as a general rule the prompt should probably be followed since it is more likely
to be current. Even though the long form is currently still supported, since it is not listed may
indicate plans to drop it at some future date.
