Loading TCE packages outside of TinyCoreLinux

[cmk]

Xvesa is 32bit only, so if you don’t want to use Xorg-7.7, you need to use Xfbdev.

If you run the first line of .xsession from the console prompt you might get more info on why Xfbdev doesn’t start.

Awesome! Thank you!

Cool, I didn't know that, thank you!
Btw I just tried -enable-kvm - lighting fast!
As for my script, MIRROR can be altered here:

Glad you like TinyCore, but my daily driver is Arch, but when it comes to Raspberry Pi it's picore

I would've considered Arch if only not system.d, well and because of Xorg of course. I love using X frame buffer on Tiny core - it's such a cool concept. If I didn't need to produce programming videos on YouTube I would've dropped GUI completely. For instance my minimalist setup is just a core + wifi firmware + python/pip and that's it.
What amazes me the most in Tiny core is that you can avoid touching the core and install your packages on top of it meanwhile having a bootable USB that stores both user data in home directory and newly installed packages.

mplayer-cli.tcz
recordmydesktop.tcz
After I've added following boot codes to CorePure64-current:

Code: [Select]

waitusb=5 tce=sdb home=sdb opt=sdb (and a few more)which has resulted in having a distro allowing me recording programming videos for youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRiZL9A1byE

Later I've managed to run my custom webcam app in python (opencv) but in both cases - for guvcview and my own app
the recorded video is a bit laggy and I guess it's because of the recordmydesktop. Anyways I'm now trying to compile
SimpleScreenRecorder https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr and if it works I would probably try to make a tcz package out of it.
