What to do at tc@box

Hi fog
In that case skip the formatting.

Tiny Core boots from the hard drive fine now after the utility install. I have a hard time specifying exactly what the situation is, let my try and clear things up for the record.

I was using a usb thumb/flash drive instead of a cd, I used Unetbootin to put the iso file on the flash drive. My goal was to do a frugal install on the hard drive.

Thank you for working with my muddy descriptions. I'm extremely happy to have Tiny Core up and running.

Hi Fog
There are two installers available for Tinycore, the one you just used, and  core2usb  which runs under Windows. A link
to  core2usb  can be found on the  FAQs  page. Using third party installers is generally not recommended as they
may make assumptions not applicable to Tinycore.
