installer

Hi Juanito
Or he may have included something in his backup that is causing problems.

Juanto (second to last post)

that is completely correct

but i seem to recall that if you rename that folder you mentioned then
tinycore boots up without finding any xvesa or anything to make a gui desktop.

since TCE is empty no?

Hi cast-fish
That's where this comes in:

tc-6.x will boot to the console prompt where you can enter something like:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -w Xvesa Xprogs flwm aterm wbar
$ tce-load -i Xvesa Xprogs flwm aterm wbar..to get started

That installs the programs you need to start the GUI.

oh



following J's istructions it just boots up to a boot prompt and says "error no configuration entry found"
"  etc...............and it won't do much of anything then....it seems

is that where i start typing console commands like Rich listed?.... to get the OS to boot?

Your bootloader config files may have been in /tce/boot.
You renamed it, so it cannot boot.
You would be better off adding a tce=tce6 to your boot options.

Why not just do a fresh install from the coreplus CD?

oh Gerald, i see.

THat indeed sounds about right....(i am no expert)

thanks

[cast-fish]

well gave all this a try but actually "tce-load' would bot execute

so following all the instructions earlier didn;t work

dunno

V

[Juanito]

"tce-load' would bot execute

What do you mean by this? Was there an error message?

[cast-fish]

well Juanto.....i mean that trying to load up a gui etc did nothing

typing those advised commands the prompt just went back
to the  prompt......no error messages nothing at all

just back to the boot prompt

so "tce-load..." etc  etc  did not execute...nothing happened  at all

[gerald_clark]

You don't run commands at the boot prompt.

[cast-fish]

ahhh

maybe then the OS needs  booting first

$boot  core text


hmmm
