Problem using it from a pendrive

Hi,

thanks for replying so quickly. I immediately tried core2usb.
The result so far is worse:

At the boot menu I select "...WiFi + Firmware", just as I did, when I had the Universal USB Installer installed it onto my USB.

But unlike with UUI all I get now is a prompt. No desktop. Even so, when I tab the boot entry and change desktop to e. g. hackedbox.

Thanks for being patient with me.

coreplayer2:
coreplus comes with an installer I believe " tce-install " otherwise install it from the repo.   check for or add the boot code  " waitusb=5 "  to help with slow USB stick's then you'll be able to load the desktop required extensions, if 5 seconds is not enough then try 10

Also check here  http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:start#installing

Hi,

thanks again for your replies.
I played around with waitusb quite lot. It didn't make any difference.

The desktop showed up only if I renamed the tce directory to cde. Then again the system wouldn't remember anything.

I found out one solution that seems to work.

First I changed the file system on my pendrive from fat32 to ext2, as the home=... boot codes wouldn't be accepted saying "Microsoft file system bla bla".

Plus:

As I said earlier, in the boot menu I select WiFi+Firmware.

There I edit the initrd line by removing
cde, (removing cde alone didn't work)
showapps ...,
base

All I keep is desktop=...
and I add waitusb=5, tce=... home=... etc.

That brings up the desktop alright and it keeps the tce and e. g. my wifi password.
Also no "first run" after every boot.
 
I've persisted the initrd... changes in the boot menu file.

I haven't tried yet which of the omissions did the trick.
And I'm far from understanding, why.

Any ideas?

curaga:
The CorePlus menu items are for CD use - they expect a CD, so using them as-is on an usb stick is not expected to work.

bapon:
Thanks.
Though I had hoped to get some explanations in order to somewhat understand what is happening, I'm happy it works now.
