General TC > Tiny Core on Virtual Machines

installing Tiny Core Linux 7.2 on Vmware ESXi virtual machine

<< < (4/16) > >>

Juanito:
tinycore has two distinct methods of booting - from a cd/dvd and from other media (hd, usb stick, etc).

As cd/dvd are not writeable, tinycore will not save any extensions downloaded across reboots.

In your vm you have effectively made a cd/dvd install of tinycore and hence it does not save open-vm-tools.

Perhaps the easiest way out of this is to boot the CorePlus iso in your vm and use the tc-install extension to make a hd install of tinycore in your vm.

Once the hd install is saved in your vm, after reboot you will be able to download and save open-vm-tools and set it to load onboot.

we wouldn't annoy people in Microsoft forums in case a Linux guy come there and need help. 

let me repeat my main question from beginning.
i am 0 % familiar with Linux OS. ...

Since you waited until reply #13 to share that information maybe you could dial down the attitude a little. I don't think anyone
realized you were unfamiliar with Linux based on your posts.

i wonder !
if i was familiar with Linux base OSs, why i would get myself into trouble and spent such time here asking basic questions. if i was familiar and i could resolve my problem, i wouldn't waste the time asking very simple basic questions here.
it would be better if you provided needed guide instead of such statements.seems any goal here except for assistance.
now i know why most people still use MS products.
really poor support here.
if in MS forums, a Linux guy asked such question there, i would guide him wit an exact guide so that no need to ask 2nd question & continue to 13th & still issue not resolved.

Juanito:
Did the explanation help?

nmm4829:
Thank you.
i have provided an screenshot regarding how i start to create my Virtual machine using TCL 7.2.iso file.

as you see in the attachment screenshot, there is no "installation" option. all options are referring to "booting TCL."

i would prefer using Tiny Core edition since it was very light. but seems we can't install "open-VM-tools" here in Tiny Core since it doesn't get installed & it only boots. is it correct ?

so seems i have to download & install "Tiny CorePlus" which & follow your instructions.

curaga:
You are using TC as a "live cd" there, a concept which does not exist on official Windows, so that does explain some of the confusion. The CorePlus iso is larger because it contains the installer, wireless drivers, and other things - they are not installed unless you check the box, so the resulting install will be as small as you want.

So in short: grab the CorePlus iso, start the installer from the bottom bar. Once there, please follow the install guide on our main home page if you have difficulties.

After installing, remove the CD from the VM.
