Download links:

http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv7/test_releases/ - for RPi2
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/test_releases/ - for all other boards

Only the SSH version is offered. If you want GUI, install TC.tcz from the repo. To get the base system with cloud mode, no persistent storage just delete the second partition, /dev/mmcblk0p2 on the SD card.


Notes:

To enable special devices and interfaces check config.txt file and read https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/README

The final notice, don't forget to expand /dev/mmcblk0p2 before adding extensions, as described in README.

Anyone have luck mounting an NFS share?

mounts worked fine in picore 6.1,

This is the only error message in dmesg or messages with syslog enabled

Code: [Select]

NFS: server address does not match proto= option

The error printed when I try to mount is

Code: [Select]

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.0.140:/volume1/Linux,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

something is still not right.  I still get the same error.    nfsd.ko did not automatically load either.   I did manually modprobe it, but no luck yet.
