NOTE : /tmp/tce folder was present on fresh boot. I created 'optional' inside it from where I ran above.

You may be running out of RAM.
You should really have a persistent tce directory.
See persistence in the wiki.

[manit123]

i have a folder named tce on my USB stick from which I booted
I added following to grub menu

title tiny core with oss
kernel /tce/boot/vmlinuz waitusb=9
initrd /tce/boot/core.gz

Is there something missing ?

[manit123]

$ free
             total         used         free       shared      buffers

That means . Lot of RAM is unused.

[manit123]

Seems , all files were being downloaded to /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional.

Hi manit123

Is there something missing ?

You should start a new thread for this question since it is a different subject.
Include some more information, like:
1. Is grub installed on the stick, or on another device that in turn boots the stick?
2. Show an entry that successfully boots the stick.
3. State what is happening versus what you expected.

[manit123]

sorry , now this thread is solved.
All that happened is - I was hoping files being downloaded to /tmp/tce/optional while it went to /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional .

[gerald_clark]

/tmp/tce/optional is only used in cloud mode ( when you have no persistent tce directory ).

[tinypoodle]

Use bootcode "base" when you prefer to mount extensions from memory.

On a sidenote: 8.5 GB swap?? Couldn't be excluded that such would decrease performance, rather than increase it...

[manit123]

Firstly , I booted from USB stick which found swap on internal hard disk .
Secondly , if I add boot code 'base' , will extensions get downloaded to /tmp/tce/optional ?Also I hope the onboot.lst will be obeyed during boot i.e those tcz on my USB stick present will be installed.
I cannot infer from http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:boot_codes_explained

[tinypoodle]

1. That doesn't make my statement less valid.
   For 8.5 GB swap being found it means it preexisted in the first place.

2. I'd reckon that is a combo for which automatisation does not provide.

EDIT:
On second thought, the use of distinct cde vs. tce dirs with CDs, as well as the use of /opt/tce in remasters might be looked at as coming comparably close to such a combination.

[gerald_clark]

No, you cannot have it install extensions from the USB using onboot, and then have it automatically install new extensions into /tmp/tce.
Why do you want to?

[bmarkus]

No, you cannot have it install extensions from the USB using onboot, and then have it automatically install new extensions into /tmp/tce.

You can do that. Just change /usr/sysconfig/tcedir symlink afterr boot. Is it useful? I do not know. But possible.

[gerald_clark]

Did you actually try it?
I did.
Apps complains that tce directory is readonly.

[tinypoodle]

What always worked well for me is a dynamic remaster with an onboot.lst and extensions in /opt/tce while using /tmp/tce as tce dir.
