boot code

[doggieh]

Hi im trying to do a frugal install inside a working linux system, what i did was to put inside a folder the 2 folder /boot and /tce and put that in 40 custom grub like this
linux /tinycore/boot/vmlinuz
initrd /tinycore/boot/core.gz
but i got only prompt  i want the full desktop like openbox so i added desktop=openbox but nothing what can i do

Hi doggieh
I thought  /tce  needs to be in the root directory.

[doggieh]

it is in filesystem inside, i have puppy installed this way andd works well

Hi doggieh

That may be, but this is not Puppy. I think Tinycore expects to find  /tce  in the root of the partition.

[doggieh]

so it must be
linux /boot/ tce=sda6
initrd /boot
ill will try

[doggieh]

worked, now tce is mounted i got desktop i do the same to opt and home?
opt=sda6 home=sda6
screen resolution is bad how can use all space what boot option i use?
i have a radeon card 5450

Hi doggieh
vmlinuz  and  core.gz  can have paths, so this:

Code: [Select]

linux /tinycore/boot/vmlinuz
initrd /tinycore/boot/core.gzis OK.
I'm not sure which line  tce=sda6  would go on with that version of grub.

Hi doggieh
Yes, add  opt=sda6 home=sda6  to the same line as  tce=sda6.
