tce-load problem

please see attached text
this 'you are not allowed to post external links' is hard for me to understand

Hi manit123
You should have a  tce/optional/  directory on your USB drive, that's where all those files belong. You should
also have a file called  onboot.lst  in that   tce   directory containing the line  firefox.tcz

The -w parameter stands for "wget" ie, download the extension. For loading an already downloaded extension use just the -i param, ie "tce-load -i firefox.tcz".

tce-load -i firefox.tcz worked as expected . It loaded all dependency automatically.
I found that gnome-icon-theme.tcz is also needed which I had to manually download & install otherwise firefox buttons are not right.

I created tce/optional folder & onboot.lst file on /mnt/sdb1.
Yet I get same error 'invalid device'

[manit123]

After some hit & trial I have managed to eke out somthing useful.
I edited /mnt/sda1/cde/onboot.lst to append multiple filename.tcz
i also copied desired tcz file alongwith md5sum & dep file to /mnt/sda1/cde/optional.

Now I get firefox,opera,pcmanfm,foxit installed by default.
Though booting takes few seconds more.

I could not find openjdk in tiny core repository?

Make that tce instead of cde

[manit123]

I renamed /mnt/sda1/cde to /mnt/sda1/tce & I fell to command prompt on reboot.
Restored the original name & got GUI again.

somehow , I have found out a way to autoload tcz . Let us say .

You probably forgot to eliminate the cde= boot option.

Hi manit123
what does the   showbootcodes    command return?

[manit123]

$ showbootcodes
initrd=/ubninit quiet cde BOOT_IMAGE=/ubnkern

[Rich]

Hi manit123
As gerald_clark mentioned, get rid of that   cde   boot code.

[manit123]

how can I get rid of that ?
which file I have to edit ?

[Rich]

Hi manit123
I'm guessing that you used UNetbootin instead of the installer on the CD. I'm not familiar with UNetbootin so
you will have to search the drive for a config file. Maybe a subdirectory under /mnt/sda1/boot/.

[Rich]

Hi manit123
You should also add   waitusb=5   to that line.

[manit123]

there is an option in unetbootin to wait for 5 seconds
Also I have been able to remove cde option during bootup.
Now when I choose backup - what should I mention /mnt/sda1(mountpoint) or /dev/sda1(device)
In case of mountpoint do I have to create tce/optional folder & onboot.lst file (in tce) ?
