BTW, do you have any idea, how to run TLC on a public PC with USB ports, where the BIOS is locked so you can not boot from the USB (but VBOX is available)?

No I don't, others may?

Questions
Do you have rights to modify the host bootloader?

Only if so, what is the host OS pls?
What is its bootloader?
Provide an estimate of its partitions

I am initially thinking chainload to grub legacy with grub in PBR of a spare partition such as not C if its windows
I am initially thinking I can talk you thru the unpack of an iso and copy of files onto the disk

The size of the spare partition, if there is one, also will determine whether we can use grub or grub2 or some other bootloader
--but I am skilled only with grub1 and 2 so others can help with other  linux boot loaders so others can help there if needed

BTW I failed uni so umm no need to reply

EDIT

a found a wiki that may suit?

All the TC kernels are built under TC.


As for the vbox question, store a virtualbox .vhd file on the usb stick, and boot that in vbox ;)
I don't think that vbox under Windows allows access to raw devices, at least without admin rights.

(.vhd may be wrong extension, I don't use vbox)

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

hi

I have sent OP a pm regarding a link to restricted license software that I believe would be a breach of rules to publish here.
I am letting OP know that if my link is of interest, I may suggest a way of booting an iso from a windows host
but I do not have windows so am relying on some info off the net.

Mods

Feel free to delete this if you believe I am attempting to something naughty. You have my permisison (if you need it)
to read my pm sent

cheers
