dCore wiki update...

Perhaps I should put up a 'programming and scripting' section here like there is in the Core section. I am good with either the wiki or a p&s area, I would like to hear input and see what the thoughts are on it.

That sounds excellent!
I feel so damn bad for not making a working installation script now... but at least I made it, and had it published, in a simple open source format where anyone can contribute... so I shouldn't feel too bad.
But I have more interesting things in the pipes, so a section for or forum-topic at least, for dCore scripts, source code and packages would be nice.
And you have my blessing for continuing work on the wiki as well Nitram! Make a section for that as well Nitram ^^, where you write down "Contributors to the wiki are officially blessed by LichenSymbiont and sm8ps" or whatever, hehe.
Though I'm not so arrogant as to think my means anything, but it's nice to know you have someone with you. Though that may be presumptious even, just insulting your intelligence, as you know exactly what the hell you are doing.
And also I'm not the guy you'd ask if you wanted to install Arch from scratch or whatever, I don't know Linux that well on the low level -- as I don't think I need to, or will ever need to. As I think there should really be a solid installation script. But I can write clean and nicely structured scripts. So I welcome messy contributions that I can just clean up.
Hmm... and that's mostly the reason, really, that it didn't get completed, I just tried to learn the Arch install scripts, and thought I could just magically boil it down. But those scripts are quite huge, and I just didn't have the patience for it.
Anyways, keep on working for the best dCore possible everyone! :)

Just completed a detailed step by step manual installation guide:

--- Quote ---dCore Install From ISO to Hard Drive Without Existing Boot Loader
A manual persistent dCore base installation from ISO to hard drive without a pre-existing boot loader using primarily built-in tools to partition drive, prepare file systems, copy over dCore files and install Grub legacy boot loader. This will install a stand-alone dCore system without the need for an installer or pre-existing Linux system:

Tried using dCore-install but couldn't get it working, failed to find the dCore-wily files despite providing the correct pathway. Maybe i was just using it wrong, didn't troubleshoot. At first glance it may be searching for generic initrd and kernel names, not dCore specific like dCore-wily.gz. May try to troubleshoot later unless someone else has energy. Would be nice to have a wiki installation example using an actual installer.
Also if anyone can share configuration notes and a brief how to for boot loaders other than Grub legacy and Grub2 let me know. Personally would like to learn yet another boot loader but really also to help round out the dCore installation wiki. Please post to wiki or give me your notes and i will upload and format, thanks.
Jason W:
I have been meaning to get to dCore-install, but have not had time. I will aim to fix it to where one can use full names, either specify or pick from a list. Of course, if anyone wants to have a go at updating it to work with current dCore-*.gz names and sending it in it would be much appreciated.

In the wiki I have some bits about Syslinux:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:usb_installation_test-drive
They are mostly complete but need to be put together the right way.
On my USB-installation the following works:
--- Code: ---ui menu.c32
default dCore
timeout 45
label dCore
menu label dCore on a stick
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-trusty
append initrd=/boot/ub-dCore-trusty.gz waitusb=15 blacklist=pcspkr tce=LABEL="dCORE-USB" home=LABEL="dCORE-USB" opt=LABEL="dCORE-USB" host=dCstick lang="de_CH.UTF-8" desktop=openbox tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 multivt syslog showapps pause
--- End code ---
Obviously, 'ldlinux.sys' and 'menu.c32' must be available under '/boot/'.
IMHO Syslinux is a great boot-loader for its simplicity and modularity, quite similar to Grub Legacy. So it would fit in very well.
jls:
The desktop param isn't needed since it's handled by the WM deb2sce.
I thought that home on a usb stick reduces the stick life considerably. Am I wrong? Maybe on recent usb it' not true?
Thanks
