Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
Core v4.2rc3
bmarkus:
Installed Xorg-7.6 It doesn't work, at least do not see any video card. I see still the Xvesa screen. No log file, nothing related in syslog.
lxrandr reports empty list which means it can communicate to Xorg.
In 4.1 it works, Xorg starts properly in confless on same machine.
newbody:
Edit I guess I should read what RobertS told in the intro but I usually
fail to read and get text when there is much to read though.
I only see a black screen with a prompt.
okay I know more now. One should have this in the code?
lst=xbase.lst waitusb=5
And RobertS says it should be /boot/ and not /core/boot/
okay but that means that all the other Linux distros need to hide their /boot/
just for me testing Core?
I use this code for frugal boot.
title Core 4.2RC3 /tce/boot/ntfs-3g.gz fluff kmap=qwerty/fi-latin9 tce=sda3
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /core/boot/vmlinuz
kernel /core/boot/vmlinuz showapps noswap syslog vga=792
initrd /core/boot/core.gz
Should I change to this one to get ntfs ability?
initrd /core/boot/ore.gz /core/boot/ntfs-3g.gz
or is the ntfs-3g.gz built in now or does it still need to be added manually?

my experience: xorg76 works on my desktop (with conf) with the 4.2rc2 (I loaded ALL files of the rc directory in particularly the DEP files which were updated).
update.. confless rc2 => works for me
update.. rc3 => conf or confless.. it works

So if I get it at all which I am not sure of?
--- Quote ---From the announcement post:

...
TinyCore is simply the kernel + core.gz + Xvesa.tcz|Xorg.tcz + (user's choice of Window Manager) + (optionally wbar.tcz)
Obviously tcz extensions are located in the tce directory.
--- End quote ---
So should I download these then and put them in the core directory?
Xvesa.tcz
Xorg.tcz
Xprogs (is that Xprogs.tcz ?)
Window Manager (okay I chose one? When does one do that?)
wbar.tcz
And Xprogs and Window Manager I can chose among those at the download list?
So would them get included automatically or does one call them from the prompt or what?

I think you are doing too much at the same time:
- testing unstable version
- in frugal environment
- with NTFS
One of the would be enough to play with. My advise just take an USB stick and stable TC 4.1 to play with and learn TC. Next go for NTFS and frugal. When you are familiar with these, for fun play with actual RC.
