dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

Getting started?

(1/5) > >>

theYinYeti:
Hi! Would someone volunteer to post some kind of “getting started” instructions for dCore at this stage?
So far, I did this:

--- Code: ---$ import xorg-all
[…]
$ printf 'Xprogs\nflwm_topside\nwbar\n' >stddesk
$ import -s -f stddesk
[…]
$ printf 'xorg-all.sce\nstddesk.sce\n' >>/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst
--- End code ---
But then, on boot, I am greeted by an endless output of this same line:

--- Code: ---can't run '/sbin/getty': No such file or directory
--- End code ---

I just don’t know how to continue from there, or what I did wrong.
Also, on each boot, I have this error message:

--- Code: ---swapon: /dev/zram0: Invalid argument
--- End code ---

Help! :D

My boot options are:

--- Code: ---waitusb=5 tce=LABEL=FLASH/.boot/dcore/sce restore=LABEL=FLASH/.boot/dcore kmap=azerty/fr-latin1 loglevel=3
--- End code ---
although the kmap is probably useless for now.

theYinYeti:
My thanks to both of you :)
I thought these files were related to regular TinyCore, with which I am mostly familiar already. I'll read these!

theYinYeti:
You were right, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, the instructions did not work for me. I did everything as explained, except that I set “tce=…” and “restore=…” beforehand in my Grub2 config file, so that “tce-setdrive” told me everything was already done, and “backup” told me setup was already done and asked me if I wanted to backup now, to which I answered yes.

When following the exact “import” commands given in the README file (for flwm_topside), the boot process proceeded apparently as expected, but was actually stuck to an endlessly swirling slash, while supposedly loading extensions. I was however able to type Alt+SysRq+E, which left me on TC prompt: there, “mount” told me that no extension was mounted, and /tmp/tcloop was indeed empty.
I also tried with my useless “kmap=…” removed, as well as the “loglevel=3” taken from Isolinux config in the ISO file.
This was in VirtualBox, and then on a real laptop with the same results.

I then started anew, this time import-ing -b xorg-all, and then import -b -f a single file with Xprogs, flwm_topside and wbar in it. This time, the loading of extensions ended correctly (I suppose) but I received this endlessly repeated message (and no prompt):

--- Code: ---can't run '/sbin/getty': No such file or directory
--- End code ---

For your information, my bootloader is Grub2, and dCore.gz and vmlinuz were taken from the ISO file for RC3.
