Is it possible to be using armv6 tcz instead of debain's import?

[gamearts123]

tinycorelinux x86 is so tiny, this is my best choice. but debain's deb and dependent not small, so after import xorg, sdcard are not tiny anymore. import script crash because out of disk space on my 256M card.

Is it possible to just directly using picore's armv6 tcz? Xorg + Xprogs + fltk + wbar. that is enough.

i try to copy everything from picore's tce directory to MELE A1000 tce directory, but an error occurs after boot.

256MB Card ? Is there such an SD Card? It couldn't be memory as Mele's have 512MB can't recall anything smaller.
BTW I am running Xorg + flwm + fltk + wbar + eveilvte + iceweasel in 154 MB memory using only 14 mounts.

But, hey, import is only an option you are free to compile away.
The choice is yours. Build-essential is a trivial import.

I eat my own dog food. I am posting this from iceweasel (firefox) browser. I can play music with moc and videos with mplayer, I can watch some YouTube with gnash browser plugin. All without compiling.

Or if you want to hack away at armv6 so you can run the Dillo browser, go for it!

I wonder if the original poster has a card formatting issue...the "optional" folder set up with the *.tcz files needed for import together with the traditional TC flwm window setup plus tools is less than 1M.  Importing xorg as a .sce uses only a further 45M (coreutils.sce and hsetroot.sce are needed, too, but are only are 5.5M and 1.8M respectively, dbus is 0.5M).  Since uCore+uImage plus boot files on the first partition is only 7.1M, the card should be nowhere near 256M.  Although the easiest solution here is to get a bigger card (a fast one, too) a quick check of <fdisk -l> might be in order to be sure there is a second partition on the card and that the second partition uses all the available space. 

It is, of course, very unlikely that armv6-compiled software will work on armv7 hardware.

Like roberts, I am responding from an Allwinner A10 device set up using the import method.  I have 500M of a 4G card used, but I have imported a lot of stuff to test or try.

Slightly OT, but I have many such small SDs:


Ah, the times of old digital cameras.

My current Core is on a 256MB. It has enough space just for:
-Xorg
-Nvidia (both GLX and its module )
- Chromium-Browser
- Pidgin-minimal

... and then some smaller extensions.  80 megs free, atm.

I remember been working with a 128MB SD Card, too.

Must be before they even had a class rating as none is shown on image.
Most sites recommend a class 10 sd card. Hmmm, I can't find a class 10 in those sizes!
