Re-installation issue

(1/1)

ipmeel:
If a PC/VirtualBox-guest-system has installation of TinyCorePluse on hard-drive and if it is booted from CD/iso-image for Re-installation causes issue:-
(1) System boot form CD but use files/structure of hard-drives.
(2) The hard-drive will be mounted:
(2a) Unable to unmount hard-drive.
(2b) Could not use 'cfdisk' or 'GParted-Partition-Editor' tools/ utilities to delete exiting installation/ partitions.

Juanito:
A cd boot will search other drives for /tce folders and mount them/load extensions if found by design.

If an extension is loaded from a /tce folder on a hd, you will not be able to un-mount the hd to use cfdisk or gparted.

ipmeel:
So that will no serve purposes of live cd for reinstallation, contrast to other live operating systems. May require upgradations!!!

Juanito:
If you want to upgrade, just overwrite the files core.gz and vmlinuz and reboot.

Note that vmlinuz usually does not need upgrading for minor version updates.

curaga:
The bootcode "base" is intended for upgrades etc, it loads nothing from any disk.
