Could be [tiny]core improved?
Rich:
Hi Leee
The problem with that idea is that onboot.lst (or an alternative "onboot.lst") relies
on the extensions already being present in the cde directory.
So now we need to create ISOs that are bloated up with a bunch of extra extensions.
This sounds like it flies in the face of Tinycore philosophy.

--- Quote from: Leee on March 05, 2026, 03:50:16 PM ---is it possible to specify multiple extension lists (at the same time) right from the boot loader? So that you could specify, for instance, a base onboot.lst (common to all configs) -and- a desktop.lst or a web_server.lst etc to set up for a specific task? Just thinking out loud on this - it doesn't seem all that hard to just load additional extensions after the initial bootup.

I think this is already possible, by using a new line in your boot-loader (grub or syslinux) and in that line just use use TC parameter lst=MyOnbootList-example.lst; multiply this line as many time as you like, just changing (in grub.cfg) your lst=
Or just enter in edit mode in grub and change on the fly your LST (if you have if already created and remember its name). But in general is so easy to just boot with minim TCZ and then just tce-load -iw multiple extensions in one go / line.

Because 64-bit version of TC will be more popular than 32-bit, download link should be in this page
http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html
not only here
http://tinycorelinux.net/ports.html

If you want to know how much TC17 32 (kernel 6.18.2) bits could need to boot+run, then the answer is 27 MB RAM !
Yes, without swap in RAM and without swap on HDD, and without compiling anything. Amazing!
For the the details, if you are interested, see the topic
TC17 needs RAM: 71MB(CLI) or 90MB(GUI) just to run (which should be changed as "TC17 CLI booting with just 27 MB RAM"

Maybe TC developers could implement the small changes I did to obtain this "performance" regarding minimal / tiny TC requirements.
