kernel headers tcz would be nice.  I would like to add Ximeta ndas support.

genec:
Consistent update to Syslinux (tcz, core.gz and ISOs) would be nice.

Thankfully fluff_1_0_7 now compiles in TC-5.0 Alpha

I don't fully understand this but apparently there has been some change to DSO linking in a recent g++,  adding the linker flag -lstdc++ to the command line fixed fluff's make file.

Opera9  from the tinycore-4.x repo works well in TinyCore-5.0, requiring no deps

Opening from the command line reveals only two ignored java modules, since they are java is no big issue, right??
