I am developing a custom boot stick based on TC so I am rebooting it A LOT.
It seems like every time I boot into TC and want to run tce-load it fails silently. Then I begin poking around and pinging different servers and eventually I do something that convinces tce-load to work.
But I have not found a consistent trick that makes this happen. Does any one have any suggestions?
Here is ifconfig:
tc@box:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:B9:49:55:84
inet addr:192.168.140.103 Bcast:192.168.140.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

and here are my current ping results:

I have replaced
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net in my /opt/tcemirror file with
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/ because today repo.tinycorelinux.net appears to be down.
