Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
Core v4.2rc1
bmarkus:
Booting CorePlus with X/GUI no extensions (aka TC) from USB stick (sdc1) tce dir is in /tmp even if I have a tce dire manually created in the root of sdc1 (VFAT). tce=sdc1 has no influence.
Is it possible to setup a permanent tce dir as with previous versions?
roberts:
You should be using TinyCore.iso.
boot: tc waitusb=5 tce=sdc1
Works as expected.
Your specs to CorePlus was no user extensions, i.e., lst=xbase.lst, therefore no user extensions were loaded.

After I dd CorePlus to a thumb drive, I like to add another partition with a custom tce directory.

Typically dd'ing the iso image to a pendrive:
dd if=CorePlus-4.2rc1.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
results in a read-only device.
Unless you are using a different scheme dd'ing into a partition and messing with the boot record. Otherwise I am not following.
gerald_clark:
Yes, but if you select the last option to boot cmdline only, you can add a partition, format it ext2, create a tce directory, and reboot.
Now when you edit the last boot option, remove the 'base' option, add 'waitusb=5' and boot, the second partition is mounted rw.
You can now mount the first partition and copy the desired Xprogs,Xlibs,Xvesa, window manager to the second partition, create an onboot.lst.
Now you have a custom boot partition that you can tce-load into for a utility boot.
The only thing missing is a boot selection that has "quiet waitusb=5" as the only boot options.
roberts:
Booting CorePlus already searches for user tce directory and loads user extensions first before loading the extensions provided on the CorePlus media. This is done for two reasons:
1. User stored Extensions on a live drive will always be more recent than the "snapshots frozen" in the CorePlus iso.
2. Rarely used extensions in the CorePlus iso can easily be AppBroswer/Load Local when such might be needed.
CorePlus is not only an installation image but a utility resource for an existing system.
