This build is sweet thanks :)

I really appreciate the effort gone into equipment compatibility, thank you.

I was having trouble getting the newest version to boot.  My TCE is on a RAID, LUKS, LVM.  I finally realized that it was failing to mount the raid array due to raid-dm-3.0.21-tinycore64.tcz not being present.  It was only then that I realized the kernel version had changed. 

I could have sworn I'd tried updating dependencies as you suggested, but I ended up installing raid-dm-3.0.21-tinycore64.tcz while booted into tce=pre.

Anyway, it's almost working now, but there doesn't seem to be an nvidia-module-3.0.21-tinycore64.tcz in the repository.

Out of curiosity...why 3.0.21 instead of 3.0.3 this time?

Thank you for all the effort you all put into Tiny Core.  I love this operating system.
