Can't install TC because of that ...

[Filisko]

Hello, today I tried to install Tinycore, when I boot it, appears a black screen with a ... 24x24 cross with white borders at the center, why is that?

Thanks!

It sounds like X is loading with no window manager.
Did you include a window manager?
Boot with the 'text' boot option and show the contents of your onboot.lst.

what must appear on that archive?

Please read the book .http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

Are you having trouble booting the install CD or is the problem occurring when you boot after the install?

[Filisko]

I'm trying to install it with my pendrive, I can't even see the desktop

[gerald_clark]

Boot from a CD or dd the iso image directly to a USB drive, not a partition.
Then you can boot and run the installer.

[Filisko]

What "dd" means? I've used universal usb installer to put it on my usb.

I see the boot menu, but after select the first one (not the command line one) loads something with text line "DONE" and all this things in green and yellow, and after that appears the cross.

[gerald_clark]

That is not supported.
Use a CD drive or raw copy the iso to a thumb drive so you can boot and run the installer.

Hi Filisko
There is a section on ijnstalling to thumb drives here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#pendrives
There is a link to  core2usb  included there, which is a Windows based installation utility.

[Filisko]

I burned two CD's, one with CorePlus and another one with TinyCore, after that, I used core2usb to put the TinyCore on my USB, and the same thing appears:

tc@box:~$

What I can do from there? :S

What "dd" means? I

It is a Linux command to write, save, restore storage media physical content.

What about that?

If I understand correctly, you've booted from a usb stick and arrived at the console prompt.

If this is the case and you have a wired network connection, you can now download the extensions required to obtain a gui - for example:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -iw Xorg-7.7 Xprogs flwm aterm
$ startx
