Could be [tiny]core improved?

[neonix]

Main page could be redesigned to "responsive web design".

Search option in "local extensions" that are installed on demand. I have more than 30 extension in on-demand mode an it takes many time to find firefox.tcz inside.

Can you add function that ping repo.tinycorelinux.net by one click in menu list? Sometimes I need to check my internet connection.

aterm should have real transparency, not pseudo transparency.

see  https://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:menu

1.Build a custom OnDemand hierarchical directory based on /home/tc/.wmx

--xxx/  on the top
....
_xxx/  on the bottom

2. for me:

Code: [Select]

sleep 3
mv /home/tc/.wmx /home/tc/.wmx_old
cp -r /home/tc/.mymenu /home/tc/.wmx
chown -R tc:staff /home/tc/.wmx

(The specific time depends on the hardware speed and the number of items loaded in onboot.lst.)

3. add script to bootlocal.sh

If  ondemand_dir  changed, you need to manually synchronize the two directories.

a_dir="/mnt/sda1/tce/ondemand" and b_dir="/home/tc/.mymenu/OnDemand" .

I tested NetBSD LiveKey and I noticed that there are configuration files.
TinyCoreLinux could also have such configuration files in tce directory.

Code: [Select]

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 May 13  2006 .Xdefaults
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           540 May 13  2006 .bashrc
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           940 May 13  2006 .cshrc
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root          4096 Dec 17 09:26 .ion3/
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           244 May 13  2006 .login
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           540 May 13  2006 .profile
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           204 May 13  2006 .shrc
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            52 May 13  2006 .xinitrc

Hi neonix
You mean something like this:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$ find /etc/skel/ -maxdepth 1 -not -type d -prune
/etc/skel/.xsession
/etc/skel/.setbackground
/etc/skel/.Xdefaults
/etc/skel/.ashrc
/etc/skel/.ash_history
/etc/skel/.profile

Hi neonix

Can you add function that ping repo.tinycorelinux.net by one click in menu list? Sometimes I need to check my internet connection.

Pinging the repo will temporarily lock you out:

... About the ping, that's part of the port scanning protection. You essentially blocked yourself for a short time.

Hi neonix,
You could add (yourself) a menu item, to use wget for downloading a 5 BYTES! file from the website in /tmp.
if it work, then you proved (to yourself) that you have a good connection, so no (sudo) ping is need.

ex: for me https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/ shows a file-size for "Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz.list" of 5 bytes

[neonix]

Here are 4 types of extensions:
tce compressed by lzma2 or paq9 and decompressed to RAM during boot
tcz compressed with SquashFS xz 1M compression and decompressed to RAM during boot
tcz copied to RAM during boot and mounted in /tmp/tce
tcz mounted from removable medium during boot

Bootcode will be use to choose one of this options above.

In TinyCore kernel, there's monochromatic 320x240 logo that is displayed during boot, when framebuffer mode is on. This logo can be replaced by 640x360 logo.

Does dillo-plus can be default web browser in tiny core plus?

[Rich]

Hi neonix
No, it can't. The purpose of the ISOs is to allow you to get
the system up and running. They provide a way to get an
Internet connection, edit config files, install extensions, and
possibly a GUI.

You don't need a web browser for that.
Once the system is up, use apps to install what you want.
