Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

Loading Firmware

(1/2) > >>

potticous:
I left it for a while and came back, tried the official re-posted CorePlus Iso and it all works (correct modules load),

Wlan and Eth still cant be detected, i sourced the firmware-rtl_nic.tcz and firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz files but tce-load -i etc doesn't work, even tough the files are in the /optional folder?????

I edited them into the onboot.lst and on the bootscreen said it couldn't find the files? (Is there way i can install these files when installing to a USB?  :-\ )

There must be a foolproof way of doing what i'm trying to do.

bmarkus:
Location for extensions is /tce/optional

Use tce-load -iw instead of manual hacking of system.

gerald_clark:
"Doesn't work" is not helpful.  To troubleshoot, we need exact commands, and exact messages.
"/optional" is not the correct location for extensions.
Show us the output of 'ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir".

sh: lrwxrwxrwx: not found

second part appeared after i copy and pasted the first part

The "second part" is not a command.

In post #3 , you try to load extensions from  /usr/cde/optional/  .
That's not how to do it.

You should be able to load extensions just like this:

--- Code: ---tce-load -i firmware.tcz
--- End code ---

TinyCore will determine wether to load it from cde directory (only if booted from CD) or tce directory (if installed on writable media).
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir  is a symlink to the respective directory.

What version are you using?
Have you installed TC to writable media (maybe to non linux filesystem)?

EDIT:
hmm, you have just deleted two posts..

potticous:
Problem solved! Im using a USB , i set the directory in Apps, and put the files in the tce/optional folder it created instead of the the cde/optional folder. Then ran:

tce-load -i "extention name here".tcz

5.1 FAT32
