Hello,

Tiny Core is new to me. I think it gives old hardware a wonderful chance to come back to life. I want to say thank to all the TC staff.

I've successfully installed it on my Pentium II laptop with 160 Mb RAM, Xvesa works pretty fine. Only Xmms is noisy while I switch among windows while it's running.

But I'd like to install at least software like Abiword, Gnumeric and Gimp, and they need X.

So I installed Xorg but unsuccessfully. Other than xvesa I installed:



* graphics
Xorg
Xorg-dev
Xorg-3D
Xorg-3D-dev
flwm
Xorg-jwm
compiletc
automake
*
and have built the latest siliconmotion driver, but it doesn't work.

Any way to get X working? Many thanks.

Juanito:
Assuming you are using tc-15.x x86.

Boot without loading any extensions then:


--- Code: ---tce-load -i Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar
startx
--- End code ---

..and x should work.

t18:
Thank you so much for your reply, Juanito.

Had to reinstall from scratch and now TC is in /dev/sda3, bootable partition.

The network is up and I can ping any website but can't download+install anything.
Tce-load gives me the error "  wget: bad address ' '   ".

What did I forget, please?

Juanito:
After booting tinycore with a wired network connection does this work:
--- Code: --- ping -c2 repo.tinycorelinux.net
--- End code ---

Rich:
Hi t18
I just checked, the repo is down. That's why you are getting that error.
