I would like to put TinyCore on a machine for which the only networking I have available is wireless.  This means of course that before I can use TC's AppBrowser, I need to have wireless networking already working.  I think I can figure out what extensions I need, and which drivers, and I know how to manually get wireless up and running, but:

Where can I point my browser to find the .tce or .tcz files for TCL 2.0? I have tried different permutations on the repository URL to find the raw directory, of *.tce, *.info and *.dep files, to no avail.

Thx

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Point your browser at the .info file for the extension you want, then either:

1. Copy the url after "wget -c ..." in a terminal window and remove the ".info" part
or
2. Edit the address in your browser and remove the ".info" part.

i.e. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tce/aalib.tcel.info

becomes http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tce/aalib.tcel
