Tiny Core 14.0 Alpha 1 Testing
curaga:
md5 files are not checked on boot, only on download. This has always been so, specifically because it would make boot very slow on old cpus.

I think you're mixing up the X server and Xlib. Xvesa/Xfbdev were always supposed to work with Xorg's Xlib, they're separate things (Xlib allows programs to talk to the X server).
You might be interested to look at Nano Linux, as it's a Tiny Core based distro that uses a "nano" version of both the X server and Xlib.

I love 32 bits software. But unfortunately (for me) my UEFI-64bits booting in 32 bits will show only 2GB RAM, out of 8 GB RAM. So no go for Xvesa and 32 bits kernel, only for chroot. Neither mixture kernel 64 bits and Xfbdev, because insane radeon luminosity without xf86-video-radeon. [I hate Dell /HP firmware for (L)users]
So, to summarize:
1. OK, md5 route for onboot.lst was already implemented in TC, sorry that I overlook it (-1). But the merge for 100 tczs into one Xorg-full.tcz for fast speed was not yet challenged (+1).
2. Sorting/indexing files inside squashfs-ed tcz for speed was not challenged (+1). Neither "parallel" processing /piping (even with naive "interval halving method" like sub-call in sub-call) (+1)
3. from distrowatch -> Nano Linux has status discounted from 2015-12-26 (-1). My mistake to say (talk about) Xlib.(-1). Not interested.
4. All online-banking ask for "modern"/bloated browser WITH java-script. So dillo / links / netsurf etc are dead for this task. The main point was about GTK3! and no up-to-date (security concerns) browser runs without gtk3 and Xorg.(+1).
5. May I repeat the question again to (long experience) users: How many programs (as % from total) still run under Xvesa /Xfbdev in today tc14?
nick65go:
Testing TC14 alpha 64 bits, I found a small bug in filetool for backup/restore (png attached). The ESC-characters (maybe for colors?) are not interpreted, instead they are shown ad-literal, like " ^ [ [ ".
GNUser:
Hi, nick65go. That's a screenshot of /usr/local/bin/filetool (GUI frontend to filetool.sh) (included in Xprogs.tcz). It seems that it does not support colors.
filetool.sh was colorized recently. I'm actually finding the colors a bit jarring since it's the only command I use over SSH that does colors. I could get used to it, but if the colors are creating problems for the GUI frontend then maybe the colors should be scrapped?
