Hello Everyone,

I got the TinyCore-5.1.iso, the one with the desktop. It works well if I start a VM with it, loads the desktop, etc..

I'm trying to create an Image to boot from PXE.
I've included all extensions from the iso image (aka CDE folder) in the core.gz image, so once it boots, I have a folder /cde with the onboot.lst and the optional subfolder with all the .tcz

What I don't know how to do, is to make the system load all those .tcz and start the desktop automatically as the original .iso does.

Any tips?

Thanks

Cde is ONLY for use with CD roms.

Went through that guide and was unable to make it work :S

Anyway, I got the kernel to boot up, and have a script that loads the .tcz files and start X after that.
But it's not running at boot time, I wanted to include the script in the /opt/bootsync.sh or /opt/bootlocal.sh but they are not being loaded.

This may be a noob question, but which file should I modify to call a custom script at boot time?

Thanks

You need to have persistent tce directory using nfs or one of the other network drive options.
The link I gave you has detailed instructions.
You need to have dhcp, dns, and tftp servers setup for a proper PXE boot.
