Core 4.2

--- Quote from: newbody on December 28, 2011, 05:24:32 AM ---So if I want to add say fluff file manager then I need to learn what cli code to use.
something like apt-get or wget or similar? How does one know the name of these progs?
and what each of them do, their features and so on? Such a steep learning curve?

I guess it depends in what context you're speaking:
tinycore - use the apps browser as before
microcore - since there's only a cli, then you'd need to know the cli commands...

tc-grub4dos.tcz is NOT grub4dos. tc-grub4dos.tcz is/was an installation program targeted for Windows XP.
This extension overwrites the XP MBR which was not popular. Many want modification to use NTLDR.
grub4dos.tcz is a boot loader and is fully supported with Core 4.2. Do not confuse the two.
Your second concern about using CLI utilities for extensions applies only if you choose not to use Xprogs.tcz!
Why do you imply that it is something different? You can still use Xprogs and have the same FLTK/GUI programs as in all previous version of Core. In fact, TinyCore.iso is still available and CorePlus, I would assert, makes it even easier to frugal install, even embedded frugal install, to a hard drive, as well as a pendrive. See updated install page:

Thanks to both of you. Sorry you are right. I had forgotten what
the name implied. Then I will delete it from my files. Have no need for it.
I will read on the link you provided and try to grasp it. I am a reluctant noob.
I do my best to get what you write but it is way above my knowledge. Sorry
But thanks for your patience with a complete noob.

Hi Robert and the rest of Team TC!
Have just installed it on one of my oldest usb sticks still alive and TC 4.2 (or Core v4.2) works well over my expectations. Fast even on this old stick. A big hand to all the team for their efforts!!!
Have fun extending the boundaries of TC,

Well, I'm really scratching my head here trying to figure out where the background disappears to.? using fluxbox WM in frugal install with persistent home and opt
I understand .setbackground needs updating, did that; still no background, deleted the mydata file, set background, created new backup, rebooted; result No background.. H'mmmm seam's like .setbackground is not run at boot, yet if it is run manually after boot the background appears however the wbar disappears..
