gerald_clark,
tce=sda2 home=sda2 opt=sda2this is what my kernel line will look like in menu.lst
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet tce=sda2 home=sda2 opt=sda2
thanks.
aus9,
if you don't get graphics up, that is called console and means the same as terminal but you can't run any mouse controlled stuff.then that is the screen I describe in reply #1 with the penguin and ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, then a terminal prompt. so that's the console. can that be invoked by ctrl + alt + f1 ?
before I get started (right away) with a new install, I need to mention that I will be skipping this command:
touch /mnt/sda2/tce/mydata.tgz
unless a reputable member recommends different. the idea here is, we don't want that file, do we?
your "or this" option will give you persistence for home and opt. Please read the wiki and forums on that as I am have to get back to work.for apps to survive a reboot, it will be this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet tce=sda2 home=sda2 opt=sda2
In case you thought I was ignoring you, it was not clear to me, you had succeeded in getting a graphical display up either with this build of TC or the coreplus way.it was after I ran this command, reply #9
cp -a /mnt/sr0/cde/* /mnt/sda2/tce
this command got me to the desktop (I was no longer stuck at the console), but I was no longer able to use appbrowser after that. I got an error 'tce directory is not writable', and I was unable to do anything except run the terminal and send replies to you with another computer. I didn't even have leafpad, so I couldn't transfer text from computer to computer with a flash drive. there probably is a way to send text files to the flash drive with the terminal, but I am not that good.
some nice person has a wiki entry on alsa so you may elect to read that.I'll bet that's you.
I think I remember studying that.
that reminds me. every time I restarted tinycore I had to turn alsamixer all the way up. there is a lock icon but it doesn't keep the volume all the way up the way I like it. is there a way to force alsamixer to stay on full volume? maybe even a command to put in bootlocal.
ie what you put into your onboot.lst determines what is REBOOTED if downloaded into tce/optional
--files you changed, means you put that in your .filetool.lst------but drop the leading /I will have to get in there and have a look.
eg if you change /etc/scooby you add etc/scooby to your filetool.lst
------ alsa also needs a daemon so that goes to a boot up script called bootlocal.shright. commands go in bootlocal.
Please take your time with the wiki and other forum posts.....you will be rewarded, with good looks, karma and skills, once you understand it.understanding it is the hard part.
now on to the install. thanks aus9.
