Thanks Rich,
    I discovered I could login to the wiki right after I got a forum account.

Jason,
    I will more fully familiarize myself with the wiki as it now is,
    and take my time to make sure any additions are well thought out.

Thanks,

Adam

It was a preemptive answer on my part. Most people ask how to login in when it comes to altering the Wiki.

As soon as I saw your 1.5gig ram suggestion, I increased the amount I had allocated from 1gig to 1.5gig.

You were right, flawless boot.

What is interesting to me is the failure mode, It did not occur to me it may be ram shortage.

Is there a standard place in the wiki/forum that info like this is stored? Maybe part of the release notes, or the Plus images category?

If not, I would like to contribute somehow by adding to, or creating some relevant wiki page.

Thank you,

Adam

I though tinyCore is "small" as its name suggesses but 1.5 gig is a lot so no hope to install it on an old PC that havs 2 gig.

dCore does not need 1.5G of RAM to run, only dCorePlus does.  dCorePlus images have a lot of extras to allow new users full hardware and networking support to get set up with.  And what requires so much RAM is the dCorePlus image along with it's large extension is copied to RAM during boot.  The reason for copying to RAM is so the dCorePlus image can be burned with the dd command to a USB and not just to a CD.  And also so that dCore-usbinstall can use that same USB to install to when booted.  Users of machines that have limited resources would need to use standard dCore and download the premade SCEs for wireless.  And then import what is needed.  dCorePlus provides a turnkey solution to make the setup process easier. 

dCore-wheezy.gz is about 8.5MB, and uncompressed is about 17MB worth of files.  Most other dCore images are about 15MB compressed size. 

A 2 gig of RAM machine would be more than enough to install and use any Tinycore or dCore offerings.
