Lightweight can be extremely bloated. [Solved?]

(1/3) > >>

newbody:
I give you no link but trust me on my word. Sometimes reviewers
tell us that a Linux distro is Lightweight of it is somewhere between
600MB to 900 mb or so.

Could it be about if them fit on an old CD and them was about 800mb?

To me Lightweight means less than 128MB or so. 600 to be is extremely bloated.
But I am known to be bad at English or terms even in my native language.

bmarkus:
Compared to a 4.3 GB distro 600M is really small.

newbody:
Yes but if one compare Lucid Puppy having 128MB with TinyCore 11MB then some ten times bigger :)

I am reading up on your struggle to get core running. Maybe I can learn from your experiences.

It is fun, as usual testing beta versions  :) Stable release TC 4.1 works fine, no issues.

Just to mention, my production server CentOS 6.0 do not boot after 6.1 update but kernel panic, 6.2 same, can't boot from raid. Using old kernel boots but X sets up stupid video mode which is unusable.

No answer in bug tracking in 2 weeks. Forum response is "3 million system installed, it must be OK"

So TC is really a fun  :D

I wanted to be one since a 10 year old BoyScout
and I learned Morse from old 78RPM and then from 45 RPM
and then from CC tape and asked teh Military to make me a
CW operator but I was not musical enough to be able to get the
rhythm above 5 WPM I did listen to shortwave up to I where 40 years old
or so but then I moved to a place where them forbid all kinds of Antenna
outside the window. :) I gave up on it.
