Therefore, you can get away with a simpler onboot.lst that only contains top-level extensions (i.e., extensions that you want to use but that are not required by any other extensions).
I think something like this would have the same effect as the more lengthy onboot.lst that you posted, while being easier for you to understand and maintain:
--- Code: ---firmware-nvidia.tcz
nvidia-470.182.03-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
graphics-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
fltk-1.3.tcz
Xfbdev.tcz
fluff.tcz
Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz
ffmpeg4.tcz
spacefm.tcz
ntfs-3g.tcz
linux-6.1_api_headers.tcz
ffmpeg5.tcz
jwm-full.tcz
e2fsprogs.tcz
original-modules-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
--- End code ---
EDIT: Are you sure you want both Xfbdev and Xorg-7.7-3d? I thought the idea was to use one or the other, not both.

oh i am very new to all this linux.. i havnt gone through thier use extensively yet.. i would sure jus keep the bootlst as you guide :) , so now i should keep xorg7.7 3d or xfbdev ? oki i read xorg vs fbdev .. looks like xorg is better with nvidia.. now i will sure remove fbdev .
btw firefox or brave .. either i use to watch youtube vids .. they always goin to 50-60-70% cpu usage.. please kindly guide for that too .. thank you

It depends on your goals. Xfbdev is barebones, which you may prefer if you are going for minimalism and none of your applications need fullblown Xorg. Xorg-7.7-3d has all the bells and whistles, which may be more convenient if you are setting up a general-purpose daily driver.

That's highly dependent on user preference. I personally prefer brave because a) it comes with nice privacy settings out of the box, b) it comes with an adequate array of audio and video codecs out of the box, and c) sound works in an alsa-only environment (i.e., no need for pulseaudio or apulse). Brave can handle youtube videos out-of-the-box.

When I play youtube videos I routinely hit 20% cpu usage. Maybe your machine is a bit older than mine? I'm on an X230 thinkpad with Core i7-3520M 2.90 GHz cpu and integrated intel graphics. I'm pretty sure youtube video decoding on my machine is happening in the cpu only because I have not setup graphics acceleration.

Hi cudain
This is my recommendation for onboot.lst:
--- Code: ---firmware-nvidia.tcz
graphics-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
nvidia-470.182.03-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz
spacefm.tcz
fluff.tcz
original-modules-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
linux-6.1_api_headers.tcz
e2fsprogs.tcz
ntfs-3g.tcz
ffmpeg4.tcz
ffmpeg5.tcz
--- End code ---
Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz pulls these in as dependencies so they don't belong in onboot.lst:
--- Code: ---aterm.tcz
bzip2-lib.tcz
fltk-1.3.tcz
freetype.tcz
glib2.tcz
graphite.tcz
harfbuzz.tcz
imlib2-bin.tcz
imlib2.tcz
libffi.tcz
libfontenc.tcz
libICE.tcz
libjpeg-turbo.tcz
libpng.tcz
libSM.tcz
libX11.tcz
libXau.tcz
libxcb.tcz
libXcursor.tcz
libXdmcp.tcz
libXext.tcz
libXfixes.tcz
libXmu.tcz
libXrender.tcz
libXt.tcz
wbar.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
jwm.tcz
Xorg-7.7.tcz
--- End code ---
Since it pulls in jwm.tcz, don't load the older jwm-full.tcz.
Since you are running Xorg, Xfbdev.tcz should not be loaded, neither should these dependencies:
--- Code: ---libXfont.tcz
pcre.tcz
--- End code ---
Don't know why you are loading ffmpeg4.tcz, nothing in your onboot.lst depends on it.
Don't know why you are loading ffmpeg5.tcz, none of the extensions in TC14 depend on it.

@GNUser ,hi thanks for guiding me.. i dont know much about these things.. jus donwloded them according to needs when i installed some things like gparted or some other guidance through internet .. and thanks @rich for bootsl guidance., will change them accordingly.
btw my cpu is x5470 and gt 730 ddr51gb grpahics . true its a old system p5ql pro asus board
any changes could be possible to run youtube well.. i really liked this tinycore linux.. so fast..its awsome.. the youtube is all good but i am uncomfortable with cpu usage but temps are fine tho.

Pay attention to the order:
--- Code: ---firmware-nvidia.tcz
graphics-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
nvidia-470.182.03-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz
spacefm.tcz
fluff.tcz
original-modules-6.1.2-tinycore64.tcz
linux-6.1_api_headers.tcz
e2fsprogs.tcz
ntfs-3g.tcz
ffmpeg4.tcz
ffmpeg5.tcz
--- End code ---
The first 5 should be at the beginning of the list in the order shown.
