Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
No X11 !!

Hi:
I have been using linux for years, but I am new at trying to install it.. I am also new to TC. I am trying to load TC onto a machine so I can dual boot with a more complete linux. That linux is there and so it grub. I have a Live CD with TC plus and it seems to run fine when I boot from the CD. I am using the install instructions from /distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install.html, which uses the tc-install. Everything seems to work fine, but when I boot the new install from grub, there is no X11. None at all. If I run sudo find / X11, I get nothing. If I run sudo find / startx, I get nothing. The FAQ says that I might need to run tinycore xsetup, but a file called tinycore also does not exist.
When I tc-install, I set swapfile=sdb3, home=sdb6, vga=792. I have tried it with and without xsetup and it makes no difference. The install type is set to 'Core and X/GUI Desktop' . I also install WiFi support, ndiswrapper, Wireless Firmware, Remaster Tool, and non-US keyboards. The only other thing I can think of is that step 6 in the install instructions I referenced above does not occur for me. I.e. I do not get a window that asks me where to load the extensions from.
Does anyone know what is going on?.
Thanks!

Try in terminal :
tce-status -i
is the list of packages "installed" at that time.
At the beginning of the list there is a package called Xorg... ?
hallevison:
tce-status -i also does not return anything.
When I installed the packkage, I was not connected to the internet. Could that be a problem?

Well, I restalled it for the third time and this time X works. I don't think I did anything differently, however. Now there is no wireless, but at least I am making progress.

In tce directory where you installed tinycore there is a file *.list them lists the packages that are installed automatically on startup.
Probably you have installed the packages in a way that the programs did not start "on boot".
That's why the command tce-status -i do not returning any package.
If you try it now that xorg works, you will notice that it is listed.
