Hello everyone,
I am relatively noob when it comes to linux and unix-based systems in general, but I successfully installed TinyCore onto a hard drive using the "CorePlus CD".
(to answer your question as to why do I want to use TC: I just need a distro with a really small footprint).
I went through documentation and forum threads, but it's all a little too overwhelming for me
Will someone be kind enough to help me understand and configure the following?
1) I have installed TC with no GUI (I have no need for it) but the text interface is tiny (no pun intended) - how do I change the size and make it permanent?
2) TC autologins as root at boot time; why and why is the root password not mentioned anywhere? I tried changing the password, and it works, but after reboot it's reset to whatever the default password is. How do I change it to something else and make it permanent?
3) I have installed OpenSSH following these instructions
