Tiny Core 8.0 Alpha 1 Testing
andyj:
Same as always. The aterm window doesn't refresh when text scrolls when using the VMware graphics driver in Xorg. Once it fills up you have to resize the window to get it to show what text comes after what's displayed.

I'm trying out the alpha on a spare but mostly functional Toshiba Satellite A135-S4487 laptop.
Looks good so far, though I haven't gotten all that deep into it yet.
The firmware-iwlwifi.tcz from 7.x seems to work here, at least for the Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG hardware.
Having some wifi greatly simplifies further playing. :)
Lee:
I got some odd messages when making a backup, though it looks like the bqackup was successfully created. I haven't tried repeating this yet nort verified that I haven't done anything "unusual", though I'm pretty sure I haven't "Mullerized" it yet. :)
Here's a screen log:

the vte-2.90 dep file contains ncurses5 - I'm guessing you didn't start tc-8.x with an empty tce folder ;)

firmware-iwlwifi did not work for me...
