Core v5.1rc1

[Juanito]

The first release candidate of Tiny Core v5.1 is now posted and ready for testing:

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release_candidates

Change log:
* kernel: updated from 3.8.10 to 3.8.13, to correct long sync issues
  (This is a minor update to fix a specific bug. No config changes)
* tce-fetch: updated to support $KERNEL parameter (thanks to maro)
* version: added multi-architecture support
* tc-functions: getbootparam updated to properly match a parameter that is a substring.

Update instructions, from the release distribution files area:

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release/distribution_files/

1. Copy over new vmlinuz/vmlinuz64
2. Copy over new core.gz or rootfs.gz + modules/modules64
3. Boot into new system

if You have/use X then
AppsAudit -> Dependencies -> Build Reporting Database -> Fetch Missing

or if you only use core or rootfs + modules (no X) or Xorg did not start and only have a system prompt use:

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing

hi juanito,

is there a bug in the protected mode?
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,16225.0.html

thank you for your help and commitment.

[Juanito]

Sorry, but I've never used this - perhaps one of the other users can help out?

Fixed tc-functions, getpasswd to prevent dropping of last character entered.

I didn't know about tce-audit before. It's really fantastic. Thanks a lot, and keep up the excellent work!

[Juanito]

Any more testing feedback?

I updated my systems to the new version core32 & 64 


It took a couple of reboots for Apps to find missing deps,   but eventually Build Reporting Database, update dep's and fetch missing deps found and installed many missing deps


Great job   thanks guys

What is multi-architecture support?

[Juanito]

the version script works on more than just x86

[bmarkus]

Using

Code: [Select]

version -c
command it displays current version for the given architecture (x86, armv6, ...) correctly
