Installing TC Plus on a HDD and installing TCE on a second HDD - HOW!?

[Dissi]

Hi,

i just found out about TC and installed the Plus version on my old PC.

In that PC i have 2 HDD:
1. sdb1: 2GB -> TC Installation
2. sda1: 80GB -> Persisteent storage

Now i want to install the Extensions on the second HDD (sda1) permanently. The home and opt folders i can make there with the options on installation. But when i try to make the tce folder for the extensions on that device i can't...

I tried to edit the extlinux.conf and entered there the home and opt directory and also the tce directory. I noticed that there is just a tce path to the first HDD (sdb1). When i delete that line and add the second HDD it only boots in the command mode. When i let that line and add TCE=UUID="UUID Number", there also only loads the command function after rebooting...

How can i say TC that it should install the extension s on the second HDD?

When i open the 'Appstore' there is the installation path, but its located to sdb1 and i want sda1. I can't change that path, it only makes a beep sound, when i try to enter there something...

Did you change tce=UUID="blah-blah" to the uuid for sda1?

Code: [Select]

blkid -o value -s UUID /dev/sda1

Yes, i have changed that line and tried to let that line but added a second TCE with the UUID of the larger HDD. But nothing worked, it only ended up in the command line after rebooting...

If you changed the location of the tce folder to sda1, then when you reboot you will end up at a console prompt because the new tce folder is empty.

What does this show:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir
To load a simple gui:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wil Xvesa flwm aterm wbar

What does this show:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir

This shows: /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/mnt/sdb1/tce/

[Juanito]

That shows tinycore is looking in the wrong place for the tce folder - note that you can only have one tce folder, what boot loader config are you using?

[Dissi]

I don't know how to look what boot loader configs i'm using. I have installed TC Plus from an USB and selected all features after the option screen. Then i entered the extlinux.conf via the editor and put those two lines there: home=UUID="UUID-Number sda1" opt=UUID="UUID-Number sda1". That's all.

[Juanito]

You need to add "tce=UUID="UUID-Number sda1" and remove any previous tce= entry.

[Dissi]

But then i got the command line after rebooting...

[Juanito]

That is to be expected because the new tce folder on sda1 is empty.

You can either move extensions from /mnt/sdb1/tce/optional to /mnt/sda1/tce/optional or, if you have a wired internet connection, download and load a simple gui with:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wil Xvesa flwm aterm wbar
xsetup.sh
startx

Thanks, i will try it later

Ok, i have downloaded fluff to move the /optional folder to the other hdd (snce with the terminal it didn't work), changed the path in the extlinux.conf file, reboot and again the command line... So i tried to install it via internet, but on the first command it says: /usr/bin/tce-load: line 147: desktop.sh: not found...

[Juanito]

desktop.sh is provided by the Xlibs extension - did you load the Xvesa, flwm, aterm and wbar extensions (these will recursively load a lot of other extensions, including Xlibs)?

[Dissi]

yes, i typed it like you have written it here... Perhaps it doesn't work because there was just a installation on it? I will format everything and try to put it up again...

Edit:
I think reformating would do it, since i just saw that previously it says that these extensions are just installed

[Dissi]

Now it works, i have formated and reinstalled everything, moved the tce directory to sda1, changed the path and now i can install the apps to sda1.

Thanks for your patience and your help
