How to get install GUI with tinycore 10

[johnspartan]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to turn TinyCore into a kiosk based off a raspberry pi platform. My plan consists of booting into TinyCore then start a NodeJS Express web server that will serve a Single Page Application that is opened within Chromium.

I already have piCore-10beta12b running on a raspberry pi 3B+, but it seems that the UI will not install.

Running the command

tce-load -iw TC.tcz

gives the following error.

Code: [Select]

Downloading: TC.tcz
Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
md5sum: TC.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on TC.tcz

Checking the repo for http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/ against http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/10.x/armv6/tcz/ I can see that there are a lot less packages for 10.x compared with 9.x is this meant to be the case? For my case TC.tcz, chromimum.tcz and node.tcz are missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not all extensions would be copied across in the testing phase of updating from one major version to the next - updates in the toolchain and/or base applications might cause problems for extensions from the previous major version.

The above being said, you could manually download TC.tcz and all its deps (see TC.tcz.tree) from the 9.x repo and see if it works with 10.x.
