upgrading coreplus

[h2sammo]

is there an official upgrade procedure? i tried reading around but it seems many people do it differently - with different results. how do i upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0?

There are many ways to upgrade.

If you have a new usb stick or empty hd partition, probably the best way is to use the tc-install{,-gui} extension.

If you have an existing tinycore usb stick, you can install alongside an existing installation by renaming the distribution files and tce folder and creating a new bootloader menu item to match.

i have an existing USB stick. i added a "boot10.0" folder which i copied from the coreplus 10 iso and pointed to it in grub.cfg. machine boots, but the apps program syncs to my tce folder which still seems to be based on coreplus 9 extensions. If i try to update the extensions from the Apps program it still says: "you seem to be running coreplus 9.0" and there are a bunch of errors on the screen.

do i have to do anything to the tce folder which saves all my data (and was created on an old core) if i boot from an updated core?

[Juanito]

You can use the boot code tce= to point to a new tce folder, which will be created on reboot

oh... so i should NOT use the same tce folder for 2 different cores?

[Juanito]

You could use the same tce folder for Core-9.x and Core64-9.x, but not for CorePure64-9.x.

For Core-9.x and Core-10.x you would need a different tce folder if you are going to continue to use both of them.

is something like this valid?

tce=LABEL=Tinycore/tce10.0 or tce=LABEL=Tinycore/tce9.0

Tinycore is label for /mnt/sdb3 for example. i have tce10.0 and tce9.0 folders for 2 different tce on that partition

[Juanito]

that should work..
