« on: March 28, 2016, 03:59:52 AM »
Hi. I booted Tiny-Core from a live usb flash drive. How to install it to the internal hard drive of the laptop? Thanks.

Hi,
have you tried the  tc-install.tcz  extension?

Thanks for answer. I run Apps, ask to find the fastest mirror and get the message:

Couldn't load mirror list. Maybe network issue?

I believe the repo is down

If you already downloaded the mirrors extension, you can choose another site...

or, in the meantime, you can do this:
Code: [Select]
$ echo 'http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/' > /opt/tcemirror
..then things should work.

Thanks, it worked. But after the installation, I rebooted to hard drive and there's a black display with this:

Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$

Which probably means you don't have an X server and window manager listed "onboot".

Try this:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -i Xvesa Xprogs flwm aterm wbar

..so it looks like your extensions were not saved on your hd install or it cannot find them.

You can download and save them again with "tce-load -iw..." as long as you have a network connection.

The exact command? It gives me some "Example usage" but I can't find the correct one.

Ah, the previous command with "-iw" instead of "-i".Sorry.

Code: [Select]
wget: can't connect to remote host (89.22.99.37): Connection refused
md5sum: Xvesa.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on Xvesa.tcz
