Installing packages from previous repos

[MattRX]

Hi Guys

First off as a first time poster I just want to pass on a big thanks to Bela and many others who must spend hours answering silly questions like mine. Most of my questions have already been answered.

Anyway

I am among the many who are setting up a music player using picore with mpd and mpc.

mpc or mpdclient is available in the picore 5.x repo. I have installed picore 5.x, downloaded mpdclient, copied and installed it onto picore 6.1 and it works a treat.

Unless I am mistaken both picore 5.x and 6.x point to http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/

Is there a better way to install packages from a previous repo other than what I have done?

Also when I install mpdclient using 'tce-load -i mpdclient.tcz' it installs ok but does not become persistent. I thought the -i would make it a persistent install. Have I missed something?

Thanks in advance

Matt

'tce-load -i' doesn't install a package, but adds an already downloaded package stored in /tce/optional and if necessary its dependencies to the system and makes them available for use. If you want to make it available automatically after boot, add it to the /tce/onboot.lst file.

Hi Béla

Thanks for clearing that up.

Is there a better way to load packages from older releases than what I have done above?

Cheers
