Installing Tiny Core on Your Hard Drive
« on: February 23, 2013, 05:10:43 PM »
Hi,
I have a bootable TinyCore CD from which I can boot TinyCore, but how do I install it on my hard drive?
Thanks,
Binky

Hi tinypoodle,

I read "wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:start#installing" but it says "People connected to the internet may install GParted in Tinycore, and use it for partitioning."  I'm connected to the internet and I used "Apps: Regular Applications (tcz)" to download GParted.  But how do I now execute it?  It seems to have downloaded without error.  I basically want to wipe out my hard drive and install TinyCore on it.  (By the way, should I format the disk first and then run Gparted, or does it matter?)

Then just install and run tc-install.

Formating disks is one of the operation gparted could be used for ;)
