Install from live usb flash

[andfree]

This confused me a little, but I think I did it.

I ran:

Code: [Select]

$(cat /opt/tcemirror)
and:

Code: [Select]

$echo 'http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/' > /opt/tcemirror
Finally I rebooted and everything seems ok. Thanks a lot.

Now I should update the system? How to do it?

[Juanito]

First check if you have the latest version by using the command "version" - it should be 7.0

[andfree]

Yes, it's 7.0.

I suppose I found it about updates: Apps => Maintenance => Check for Updates. But I don't see anything to install.

Is there any internet browser installed or I should install one?

[Misalf]

Then everything is up to date.

I'd recommend  firefox_getLatest.tcz  which contains a script that downloads and packages the latest Firefrox from Mozilla.

[andfree]

I suppose I downloaded it (Apps => Cloud => Browse to firefox_getLatest.tcz and click "Go").

But I try to run it without success.

[Misalf]

The extension should create an entry in the window managers right-click menu.
Otherwise run

Code: [Select]

firefox_getLatest.sh


[andfree]

You 're right about right-click menu. I installed it. But how to open the browser now?

[Misalf]

After the script has been run and successfully created the  firefox.tcz  extension, load that (if it didn't automatically) by running

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i firefox
which creates an icon in wbar and another right-click menu entry.

I believe the repo is down

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

Http server restarted, main repo must work.

[andfree]

I installed it, but when I click on firefox at right-click menu, nothing happens.

[Misalf]

Run  firefox  in a terminal window to check if you get any error messages.

[andfree]

I rebooted and now firefox doesn't seem to be installed.

[Misalf]

I thought firefox_getLatest.sh would automatically set firefox.tcz to be loaded OnBoot.
Otherwise you can do so via Apps -> Maintenance -> OnBoot Maintenance.

Or maybe your installation is running in cloud mode where extensions are stored in RAM and lost after reboot.
Is the extension still preset in your tce directory (i.e. /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/firefox.tcz)?

It's already at the list there.

How to see it? I don't find any filesystem-browser installed.

[Misalf]

In a terminal,
to check if the extension exists, run

Code: [Select]

ls /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/firefox.tcz

to check where your extensions are actually stored, run

Code: [Select]

readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir
Should not be  /tmp/tce .
