I managed to install an Intel-graphics extension which made my screen go blank immediately.
 I did a hard reboot and everything went fine until loading extensions.
I had the blank screen again.
How do I stop that extension from running at boot so I can Uninstall it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AmarD
When the boot loader comes up, edit the command line and add the boot code  base. This will prevent all extensions
from loading. Then delete the  Intel-graphics  extension from your  tce/optional directory. Reboot and your Gui should
be back. Then remove the line that contains  Intel-graphics  from your  tce/onboot.lst  file.

Hi AmarD
You need to remove the following 2 extensions:
graphics-5.10.3-tinycore.tcz
xf86-video-intel-i810.tcz
