If you're not the original poster, I'd suggest creating a new thread/topic.
If these last three posts belong in their own thread, an administrator will have to move them.

I apologize.  Rereading, I realize I didn't articulate my intentions clearly.  It felt more like the post was resurrecting a dead thread and would have been more appropriate as its own.

Hi madeno
The GUI for Tinycore was broken out as separate components somewhere in the TC4.x release. It now requires
that the  Xvesa, Xprogs, Xlibs, flwm_topside, and wbar  extensions are available when booting.

As a clarification, said extensions are a requirement for the Tinycore GUI, but not a necessary requirement to be present and/or loaded at boot time; i.e. they could be loaded at any moment after boot.

Perhaps intending that there is no tinycore.gz that already contains these and they must be loaded separately, ie a dynamic remaster with those extentions stored/listed appropriately in a second .cpio.gz archive or a regular remaster, if one wants to have the GUI components loaded from the bootloader (without additional fetching).
