local=hdXY Mode PPI Problem
« on: August 13, 2009, 11:34:58 PM »
In Short: Using local=hdXP I end up with a 'File not found' error.

---------------------
In Detail:

I'm new to TC and want to try the 'Fourth' Mode of Operation called PPI.

I followed the Installation guide
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html
and changed in topic 6 (Installing Grub) the kernel line to
kernel /boot/bzImage local=hda1

When rebooting from harddrive above kernel line is printed followed by the line:
Error 15: File not found
---------------------

I saw in the CoreConcepts
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/concepts.html
below the Heading 'The Fourth Mode of Operation: PPI/TCE'
the sentence 'Note there is a menu option to create a loop back file for this very purpose.'
but don't understand which menu option is meant and how/when/where it should be used.

----------------------
Any help appreciated.

That error indicates that (at least) one of the files were not copied over properly (see part 5)

If you want to use a loopback file for it, the menu option _can_ be used to create it.  In jwm, look under Tools.
If you don't want to use a loopback, a directory called tclocal on the root of a partition can be used.

You are right, is was a simple typo.

Too tired this night. Sorry, my fault.

After correcting the typo everything works very well with the option "local=hda1"

There is the directory "/mnt/hda1/tclocal" now.

And my downloaded application (xfe) is persistent, when backup and restore are in action.

Thanks for you help
