Local TCE management.

[A Guy]

So my cursory understanding is that I could download the CorePlus-current.iso and extract the .tcz files to a local web server. After doing that I could create a customized version of Tiny Core that would point to that server and be able to pull the extensions as needed from there.
Would that be correct?

hi Tony M.

My knowledge is limit to piCore, but it is my understanding that "/opt/tcemirror" defines what repository will be used.

If you are setting up your own repository, it requires a particular directory structure and there are auxiliary files that need to be generated.

Ah, looking at the CD there is a directory structure under the cde directory ....
Some .inslist files, perhaps they are necessary as well.

Thanks for you input, I looked at mirroring but I didn't expect it would be the exact same system.

Always a problem starting too many floors up when working with something "new to you".

No, the CD dir structure is not what the mirrors have. The mirror dirs are like

10.x/x86/tcz/ {Xvesa.tcz, Xvesa.tcz.info, ...}

The auxiliary files are used for searches, the app browser showing the .info files, etc. For direct loads, "tce-load -wi Xvesa", just the .tcz and .tcz.dep files are needed.
