after some looking around on the internet i found a service that can supply a disk-less internet boot up of Tinycore. (and many other o's's also)
www.netboot.me/you simply need a working computer in the very outset to set the DCHP settings of your router to look down at that website. They give you the two settings
which are needed. Then your router knows where to look for tinycore.
Then you power on your laptop which may be completely diskless and in the bios choose PXE boot.
The machine goes off and drags in Tinycore off the internet and boots it up in Ram. It all works flawlessly as i tried it all here.
The advantage is that your router only needs initially setting up once.....
later on , you may indeed be diskless or in need of an operating sytem but not have any means to Burn the OS to disk for booting. (your may not have any media around, or no hard drive)
So then you can always use a raw netboot-up of an operating system.
They host tinycore 2.2 and about 10 other Linux operating systems as live boots.
its very simple to organize for users. (even i did it). The laptop will boot to a menu of OS's (you must "press any key) and then choose "boot right away" and give it the code for tinycore
which is "2007" from the literature.
Another useful thing is the offer boot image files for floppy USB hard disc or ROM CHIP. So you can
just keep a floppy boot disk for netbooting tinycore. You can use that on any computer really.
(there was another man here on the forum who managed to get TCL working in Amazon EC2 virtual servers. But it looked a little tricky and i didn't really see him mention a simple "image file" for you to link your amazon server to so) he created an amazon AMI for tinycore ( and loaded it in the S2 amazon server farms)
Thanks
