Help with CPU and RAM showing

Hi, jay!

Are You working with the flash drive with Core.iso copied into it?

Hi jay
Try one of the selections that includes  waitusb=5.

Seems that at least I relized what is Your problem. I was talking about fully functional TC installed on the flash drive. But You use the CD image copied to flash drive, such image is not fully functional, it assumes that media is not writeable, this is why Your saves go to nowhere.
So now You have the flash drive with the CD image copied on it. Yoe need to boot from it, and install TC on another flash drive. And those second drive will be the fully functional TC installation.
If You start with Xvesa desktop, there is an icon TCInstall, which is what You need. Or run

Code: [Select]

sudo tc-install.sh
from the command line.

I tried using the command: sudo tc-install.sh but it doesn´t work.
He cannot find the command.
I tried the Tiny Core Version with GUI and started the Terminal there, same Problem.

I use the Core Version i downloaded from http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86/release/
I add it to the USB Stick via Rufus.

@Rich: Already tried that, it changes nothing.

Hi, jay!

If You use Core, tc-install may be loaded with

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi tc-install.tcz

If You use TinyCore (with X desktop) use GUI version of tc-install. It must have an icon.

And You can read "Into the Core" book, downloadable from the TinyCoreLinux site.

Thank you jazzbiker
I was finally able to make a copy which let me save after editing.
I downloaded Tiny Core Plus and started the tc-install from the GUI.
I could install the Core Version and successfully edit with: vi ~/.profile

Now i must only discover how Core shows me more as 4GB if more is installed.
But the biggest hurdle is over.
And again: Thank you

Hi, jay!

I don't know, is it possible to detect the whole amount of memory if it exceeds 4Gb if You boot into the 32-bit system. If You know how, please post the decision, it may be usefull.
I can propose You the way to accomplish Your task creating bios/efi dual boot flash drive as it was described in the http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,19364.0.html topic.
At the end of topic I've added some automation proposal, which can be usefull in Your context.
