Tiny Core v5.1

(1/6) > >>

Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the release of Core v5.1:

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

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
* tc-functions: getpasswd updated to preserve last character entered in a password

Note that this version is available in three formats:

core: fully 32-bit
core64: 32-bit with 64-bit kernel modules
corepure64: fully 64-bit

The fully 32-bit core is available in three iso files - core*.iso, tinycore*.iso and coreplus*.iso

core, core64 and corepure64 are available from:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/5.x/x86/release/distribution_files/

core: rootfs.gz + modules.gz + vmlinuz
core64: rootfs.gz + modules64.gz + vmlinux64
corepure64: rootfs64.gz + modules64.gz + vmlunux64

Update instructions:

1. Copy over new vmlinuz/vmlinuz64
2. Copy over new core.gz or rootfs.gz + modules.gz/modules64.gz or rootfs64.gz + modules64.gz
3. Boot into new system

if You have/use X then
AppsAduit -> 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

Note:

If using corepure64 alongside core and/or core64, a separate /tce directory is required for the 64-bit extensions and must be specified using "tce=" in the bootloader.

philip:
Hooray!

I inserted a line acknowledging this happy event into the table at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Core_Linux#Release_history

... but I was too shy to make any bigger changes. E.g., perhaps the table lines mentioning 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 should now be dropped?

tinypoodle:
IMHO yes, more so as at current there are 3 entries "Current Release".

Also, "Latest stable release  5.0.2 ^[^1] / October 18, 2013; 42 days ago (2013-10-18)" (on top of page)  should probably be adapted accordingly.

LinuxUser01:
In which folder would i copy over modules.gz into? Core.gz and vmlinuz usually go into mnt/sdc1/boot, but i can't find modules.gz anywhere. Do i even need modules.gz? Not sure what it is even used for. Thanks.

Juanito:
core.gz = rootfs.gz + modules.gz

..so if you have core.gz, then no need for rootfs.gz + modules.gz
