TinyCore does not boot after installation
newbieCore:
Hi, I'm quite new to the system and in general to Linux. I have a weak laptop that I'm trying to install the system on and after the installation is completed successfully I don't see any option except the usb and the bios doesn't show any boot option in the boot. I thought that maybe the problem was with grub and I installed it from Apps but it doesn't come up, what could be the problem?

Hi newbieCore!
1. Can You describe with more details what You mean as
--- Quote ---the installation is completed successfully
--- End quote ---
There may be various reasons why it appeared not to be so successful as it may seems to be.
2. When You load grub in Apps it is not installing it to the target drive, it is adding it to the TinyCore system and making You able to install it into some target drive as the next step.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
1. I mean that I open the tc-install and follow all the steps normally and after the Proceed it means that the Installation has completed. I will attach a screenshot.

2. That's probably why it doesn't work. Usually in other distributions that I managed to install I see the grub and from there I enter the system. How can I install grub so that it works? And should I install before or after the installation of TC?
jazzbiker:
Unfortunately I am not familiar with tc-install, but the screenshot looks like everything is OK really.
Standard TinyCore bootloader is extlinux (You can see it mentioned on the screenshot) not grub.
A couple of questions:
1. Can You describe (at least briefly) the computer which You use for TC installation.
2. Do You boot from CD?
3. On which media do You want to install the TinyCore?

This is a weak Asus E406S model from a few years ago that looks like this:

It has 64GB of eMMC memory according to what I understand and an Intel inside processor.
I'm trying to install tiny core from a usb stick.
