New core2usb and TCL versions compatible?

[Mike7]

Hi, Béla or anyone else who cares to reply.

A few questions about core2usb and TCL version compatibility:

1) At Sourceforge. net there is a new version of the Windows USB installer: core2usb-16-src. Will this work with the CorePlus-5.1.iso?
2) Will it work with earlier TCL versions?
3) Will core2usb-1.6.exe work with CorePlus-5.1.iso?

Lastly, whatever happened to the TLC multicore iso, which was supposed to be the only one that would work with Unetbootin?

Thanks!

it is expected to work with TC 4.x/5.x If you find any bug or get issues, just report, will check

Multicore was renamed CorePlus, but unetbootin was never supported. Please don't use third-party installers.

Do you recommend using core2usb-16-src and CorePlus-5.1, rather than core2usb-1.6.exe and CorePlus-4.7.4?

The reason I ask is that I already downloaded core2usb-1.6.exe and CorePlus-4.7.4 a while ago. Last March, to be exact. Due to medical issues I never got around to using them for an installation.

BTW, what does SRC stand for? Also, why is newer core2usb a .zip rather than an .exe?
[Sorry, but I'm a curious sort of guy.]

Thanks again, Béla.

Cheers!

Source code versus compiled binaries of same versions.

Exactly. Source package was uploaded later. Use the latest executable.

Oops! Sorry. I got Unetbootin mixed up with the dd install we were discussing last March. I've been having health issues and have kinda lost track.

However, I never succeeded in getting either dd.exe or isohybrid.exe to work with any Linux/pendrive install from Windows.

But since I am currently running PuppeeeLinux 4.4, which has the dd command, and the newer versions of CorePlus are supposedly isohybrids, could I just download CorePlus and dd it to a pendrive? Would that make a good bootable USB install?

Thanks muchly.

Hi Mike7

The reason bmarkus wrote  core2usb  was to make it easy for people to install from windows, just download
and run, no installation necessary.

Sorry to ask you spell it out, Béla, but you mean I should use 1.6.exe and not mess around with the 16-src.zip, right? (I'm a little confused, here.)

P.S. I was a ham radio operator, too, in my youth. Call sign K2SAH. My father was one of the first hams, as a member of the Brooklyn (New York) Amateur Radio Club in the 1920-30s.

Cheers!

Hi Mike7

Yes, use the 1.6.exe. The source package is only used if you want to compile the program yourself.

Thanks, Rich.
