Er, a bit stuck on something. I installed tinycore onto the hard-drive as described on the website using tc-install by reformatting the disk. Later, I tried to uninstall one of the apps I had installed. Did that pretty-much as described in the faq but when I re-booted I had a blank screen with just the cursor on it. So I thought reboot from CD and re-install everything... tried that and it still won't boot properly if I try to boot from the hard-drive alone. So I rebooted from the CD and tried to re-partition the hard-drive to start everything from scratch, but tc-install won't let me do that because it says the hard-drive is in use... so now a bit stuck again.... also a bit confused about fdisk - when I ran it as a shell command, it managed to scrub all the partitions that tc-install put in, but it gives an error when I save and exit because it says it can't save the changes or something.
Also, is it just me, but it can take an astronomical amount of time to get through to this forum. Any clues on any of this would be much appreciated.
