How to disable GUI

[Adam]

Hi, I've just downloaded Tiny Core Linux image here for virtual box. It works like a charm and comes with a GUI.
http://virtualboxes.org/images/tiny-core-linux/

My question is it possible to disable the GUI. I just need the CLI, that's it.

Use Core, the smallest .iso

Use Core, the smallest .iso

Thanks for your prompt reply. I've tried that, but having this error when trying to install it to virtual box.

Why use a pre-made virtual drive?

better off getting the real deal from here http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html 

After installing it's easy to disable X apps from the onboot.lst  or remove them altogether using Apps

There is also a wiki  to help you get to know tinycore  here http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/

Also see boot code "text".

Hi Adam

initrd /boot/tinycore.gz

I think it's now just called  core  and should read:

Code: [Select]

initrd /boot/core.gz

Hi Adam

initrd /boot/tinycore.gz

Code: [Select]

initrd /boot/core.gz

Thanks Rich, it works!!! No wonder I can't find tinycore & bzImage in this box

root@box:/# find / -name tinycore
root@box:/# find / -name bzImage
root@box:/# find / -name bzimage
root@box:/#

But vmlinuz file is there

root@box:/# find / -name vmlinuz
/mnt/sda1/boot/vmlinuz
root@box:/#

I should know this as there are only 3 files in /mnt/sda1/boot/ directory

root@box:/# cd /mnt/sda1/boot/
core.gz grub  vmlinuz
root@box:/#

Looks like the manual that I've followed here is not updated.
http://tinycorelinux.net/install_manual.html

But, I'll create a new one and publish it shortly.
Thanks to all who helped me to figure out this. I really appreciate it.
