piCore doesn't show a GUI. Wasted my SD-Card there for good.

[TheTinyMan256]

A few months ago, I was suprised that piCore is ported to the PI. I have a PI3!
I have a 32GB SD-Card, a Windows computer, and a Adapter.
<time skip>
I inserted the SD-Card with piCore, and!
No GUI. I didn't know the package manager so I used `apt` and tried to install X11. But no luck.
Now what? I wasted my SD-Card that Windows couldn't read, and so... yeah.
Can anyone help? plz?

Hello TheTinyMan256,
could I suggest you to read:

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7495.0.html

About a TC GUI, you could try the following:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -iw TC.tcz
$ startx

or

Code: [Select]

$ tce-ab
then (S)earch, type TC while looking for the TC.tcz extension, (Q)uit, (I)nstall, (Q)uit and

Code: [Select]

$ startx

Hi TheTinyMan256
You will need some basic knowledge about how Tinycore works if you want to avoid problems.

I would like to suggest that you take an hour to read this fine book:
http://tinycorelinux.net/corebook.pdf

It will provide some insight into how Tinycore is different from other Linux distros. Although written for Tinycore, most of
the content applies to piCore as well.
