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".
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

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'

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 ;)

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

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/.

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

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) ?
