I just burned Tiny Core. When I try to boot I get a command line. How do I get to the desktop? I have tried commands like "startx" but I get the message "not found."
On a mad hunch, I took the cd out of my cd/dvd Sony player (a remote device) and put it into an old internal CD player. Suddenly, there was the beautiful desktop. I am writing this from Tiny Core and Firefox.
I have no idea why this happened. Clearly the other player found the CD and booted it, but it couldn't somehow get to the desktop.
Thanks to those who replied.
