Hi and thanks for reading this post.

I downloaded tiny core linux plus iso file, and unetbootin windows 613.exe

Using windows 7 64-bit and unetbootin i copied the iso file to a sd card (fat 32) , booted from the sd card, then get a list of managers  and other options such as tiny core + installation extension.

But no matter what i select i get the same message " tc@box:$ "

How do i get Tiny core to start.

Thank you. John.

Hi. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

I copied the iso image onto a 8gb sd card.
 It booted fine using joe's desktop, then I installed vlc media player, 15 mb in size the file name is
vlc-full-locale.tcz

Thing is I can't get it to play anything. I click on the media tab and searched for the hard drive but I can't find it. I plugged in an external usb hard drive, but again I can't find that either.

Any advice.

Hi john11
A drive needs to be mounted in order to access it. Click on the drive icon at the bottom of the screen or right click on
the desktop then SystemTools->MountTool. Click the drive you wish to mount, the button should turn green. Drives
are mounted under  /mnt.

Hi. Many thanks.

I get options mmcblkop, which cannot be un-highlighted.
Also sda, sda2, sda5, sdb1, sro

I found the laptop's hard drive under sda2,
the hard drive is formatted into two partitons,
i can only access the windows OS partition,
the second partition which contains all the media files i cannot find under mnt

Also i plugged in a usb hard drive, i can't find that either

I started vlc but get a message " the default audio device cannot be used "
checked in bios, the audio is enabled,
went into advanced vlc options, found audio output, tried each one, restarting vlc each time, the same message kept popping up.
I did not get the message when using the "file output" audio option, but the audio still does not come on.

Many thanks. John.
