Probelm with tces

Hello

I am a newcomer to tinycore. I hav installed tinycore-2.1rc1 on a usb pendrive and installed grub to boot it (it works!). Usb drive is sdb (whole drive used as a single partition sdb1). I want to add a few tces (abiword,
xpdf, wiv etc). To this end I use the kernel option in grub as:
  ...
  kernel /boot/bzImage quier local=sdb1 noswap waitusb=5
...

I install the tce using applbrowser (connect->tce) but it disappears on a reboot (and I can;t find the .tce package any where). The sdb1 partiiton
has directories (/tce, /tcz, /local).

Sdb1 is also the tinycore boot/* partition??

Any help will be appreciated.

You can remove the
--- Code: ---local=sdb1
--- End code ---
from your kernel line, then create a directory named tce in the root directory of the pendrive


--- Code: ---mkdir /mnt/sdb1/tce
--- End code ---

(you might have to use sudo)

Upon reboot, tc will load any *.tce files it finds in that directory and any that you install from the repository will be copied there to be loaded at upon subsequent reboots.

If you happen to have directories named tce in the root directories of other filesystems, you can specify which one to use with


--- Code: ---tce=sdb1
--- End code ---

on the kernel line, but that's not necessary if you only have one such directory.

Its "quiet", not "quier".  :)

check your boot line in grub, it must show:


kernel /boot/bzImage
append initrd=/boot/tinycore.gz quiet tce=sdb1/tce noswap waitusb=5

then download your apps from appbrowser and place them in the /sdb1/tce directory. restart, tc will load your tce at boot.

oups, sorry Lee, i posted it short after you, it seems

Ok changed the kernel line to
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet noswap waitusb=5

created /tce (on sdb1 -- the boot device fs) , downloaded the
.tces of interest, rebooted but none the .tce was loaded. I was
able to install them using applbrowser->File->Install  Local

Is there no way to auotmate this? or I am doing something wrong?
