GNUser:
Congratulations to the team! Another solid release.

I'm grateful for Tiny Core Linux for so many reasons. In particular, thank you for:
  - Your conservative approach to new releases (update key infrastructure + fix small issues), as it tends to cause zero breakage for users
  - Your serious and ongoing committment to minimalism and Unix philosophy

Long live Tiny Core Linux!

PDP-8:
Thanks to the team for 12.0!

I have noticed some small problems with two iso's, reproducable across 4 different machines.  MD5 sums doublechecked, and known good sticks used to install by DD'ing to:

CorePlus installer image:
Apps will initially allow you to check and set the fastest mirror ok.
However, when it comes to browse the mirror to install something quickly say in cloud-mode like nano, it errors out with:


--- Code: ---Error: Check network mirror or writable extension directory
--- End code ---

A quick doublecheck with the previous 11.1 shows that the mirrors are up and browseable.

[UPDATE]
Used CorePlus and the tc-install gui to replicate itself onto another good stick.
After boot, the first time I tried to use Apps, it said that the mirror.tcz wasn't there, but brought up the apps window anyway.  I *was* able to browse the default mirror, but only once.  Changing the mirror resulted in no-browsable mirrors, even when set back to default.

Maybe a timing issue - once the apps window was up, I was able to manually restart the fastest-mirror utility and it brought me to my usual in Calgary and allowed me to set it.  Unfortunately, it won't browse.

TinyCore:
Across all 4 machines, using either the default first option, or the second with waitusb=5, we are brought to the command line:


--- Code: ---failed in waitforX
--- End code ---

Using the other options to boot with the command line only work fine.  And as another test, I was able to use tce-ab to quickly do a cloud mode download and install of nano as a test.  So here, the mirrors seem to work.

I found it interesting that the iso images of 12.0 have different issues.

All sticks for initial installation were DD'ed via knoppix and devuan.  MD5 sums checked.  Sticks were re-tested by dd'ing the 11.1 release and have no issues.

So, just reporting what I'm seeing and maybe others can duplicate it to prove that I'm crazy or not. :)

Very grateful for 12.0 - not complaining as these can be overcome, but just some "out of box" local tests on the two iso's.  (havent tested 64 bit yet)....

curaga:
I confirm the TinyCore does not start X issue. Xvesa --help reports libfontenc.so.1 is missing.

Juanito:
The problem was in the Xvesa (and Xfbdev) tree file - TinyCore-12.0.iso and TinyCorePure64-12.0.iso reposted
