Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 14.0 Alpha1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/release_candidates/distribution_files

This is an alpha level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

Since this is an alpha cut, we ask that only experienced users test. This cut is not for general use. The features in any alpha are not fixed and may change before a public release candidate is available.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

* glibc updated to 2.36
* gcc updated to 12.2.0
* binutils updated to 2.39

Note:

* la files have been removed from *-dev extensions (thanks to @Rich)

Maybe this is silly question ??
Is it possible to make tc boot faster ??
I thinking of like bmarcus does with picore use the python capabilities to extract the extensions in one core each.
Have seen some problems with that because of not having control of the extractions order of the deps. 
But i think's it's work very well.

I don't know how that can be accomplished with the ordinary tc.
Maybe make some type of depending tree of how and what order the extensions extract.
I don't know how to run shell scripts and commands from each core.
What commands have the capabilities to do that.

Just having only one command in mind that spans the commands in separate cores.
Yes you are right, the make command with it's -j argument.
 
Thats all.
PS. And thx for this os

curaga:
If you have several cores, TC probably already boots very fast? Move some rarely used extensions to ondemand, etc.

GNUser:
Congratulations to the team on this upcoming release!

I'm using it now on my laptop. It is a pleasure to help with testing. It already seems to be in an advanced state of readiness. I've only found two issues so far:

1. The gcc.tcz extension loads but is unusable:

--- Code: ---$ tce-status -i | grep gcc
gcc
gcc_libs
$ gcc
sh: gcc: not found
--- End code ---

2. A handful of extensions (eight, see below) that are dependencies of some of my applications load and can be used (the applications that need them run just fine), but the extensions fail to create a file in /usr/local/tce.installed/

Here's a photo of my laptop's screen when booting with the showapps code, which shows some information that may be helpful:

GNUser:
I deleted gcc.tcz and reinstalled it. That solved problem #1 in my previous post.
Problem #2 from previous post remains. I'll keep investigating.
