People,

Thanks for suggestions - this is now working for me:

menuentry 'Tiny Core - iso' --class core --class gnu-linux --class gnu {
    insmod gzio
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='hd0,msdos1'
    set isofile="CorePlus-current.iso"
    echo Loading ${isofile} ...
    loopback loop /${isofile}
    echo Loading Kernel ...
    linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz iso=/${isofile} loglevel=3 showapps nozswap waitusb=5 blacklist=pcspkr nodhcp cde desktop=fluxbox
    echo Loading RAM-Image ...
    initrd (loop)/boot/core.gz
    echo Booting ...
}

The next step is now to try and get the wifi working - I have had a lot of trouble with the Broadcom B43 driver in Fedora over the years and it is not currently working with this TC - even after a bit of fiddling - but I guess that is a question for a new post . .

Thanks to everyone,

Phil.

You need to install the firmware.  There are  firmware-broadcom_43xx and firmware-openfwwf extensions that you should install "onboot".
That might be all you need.
