idk how insightfull this might be ...

https://www.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-intel/2015-September/003574.html#Atom-E3845: Grub auto start ?


wrt hw + tc

the implicet step is to install bootloader (pickone! ,.. examples afair exist in the wiki(if you can find a working link;) , ect )
then (with bldr installed) add an entry to the loader config to the corect drive/partition  & file paths ( eg in second link below)

the above could even bee done on disk image file and then dd to *whatever* device

visited the specifications webpage for the hardware:
https://www.dfi.com/product/index/218#specification

under operating system support it says:
"Linux (Distribution available upon request)"

would be nice to know which one they offer/provide/recommend/support.

also, assuming your earlier post meant "Porteus" and not proteus

Yes, "Porteus" not "Proteus", sorry.  :)  My bad, as it most definitely is not the computer from the movie "Demon Seed" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075931/)!

I was reading some older posts about install/boot issues and came across a mention of the core2usb utility in the TC FAQ (pendrives). It sounded promising until I downloaded it and discovered:

* It is a python source file, apparently from 2012
* I needed to install python
* It is not syntactically valid python code, at least not for the python 3.11 that I foundSo it won't help as it is slightly out of date. It also suggests that the FAQ might benefit from a review.

The BIOS has options for "Legacy", "UEFI", and "Dual" boot modes, so I switched it to "Legacy" for TC.  Unfortunately, that didn't help the image installed to the SSD to boot.

Hi nurbles!
When You boot from DVD or USB drive, what is the name of the SSD on which You want to install TinyCore? Something like /dev/sda. Is it partitioned? For example what is the output of

--- Code: ---fdisk -l /dev/sda

--- End code ---
?
My guess is that it is already partitioned by Your previous pretenders (Ubuntu, Porteus, etc) and the way they partitioned it is not compatible with TC installer.
Maybe destroying all partitions present will help, but of course it is not for sure and Your SSD may already contain the data important for You.

PS: By the way, Windows was already installed on Your box earlier?

Hi nurbles

I suggest if you are distro shopping have a look at
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=slitaz
http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/

I have not used it recently,  they have moved to a rolling release model which is the model for arch linux/ debian sid etc

In addition you can install a 32 bit distro on 64 bit hardware.

2) if you are still interested in Tinycore, you do not have to use dd or rufus etc to install it.
You can do something similar to what I wrote a long time ago showing here
https://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:install_wo_optical_grub2

I did something similar RECENTLY on TC64 using legacy bios  with my TC on sda3

If interested I will need to know if your SSD can be connected to another PC--- what OS you have on a working PC.
I can not help if your answer is Windows.....as I have no experience running the linux terminal on Windows
