@totally: Welcome to the forum!

Quiz time!

  • Which TinyCore image did you download (version and filename, please)
  • Which operating system were you using to download the TinyCore image?
  • How did you get the TinyCore image onto the USB device? (software)
  • Finally, what kind of machine are you booting the TinyCore USB device on?

Thanks!

And you can start to read the book, to understand what TinyCore Linux philosophy is.

Here you go.

When you see "tc@box:~$", try typing "startx" and hitting Enter. It might kickstart your graphical interface. If not, double-check your installation steps—it could be a setup issue.

Hello to everyone !

I need some help ... I am rather experienced in Linux (Arch , Debian , Ubuntu etc.) but as for Tiny - I haven't any experience . How can I install it from the command prompt ? I want it also to save user data on hard drive . As I understood , Tiny doesn't support installation on hdd natively - it needs a module for this .And I don't know how to turn wifi on to download modules ...

If you can burn this iso to cd/dvd and boot it:

http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/release/CorePlus-15.0.iso

..you can then use the tc-install extension to install Core or CorePure64 to hd

Wifi is more complicated in that it depends on your hardware - what wifi hardware do you have?

>> Wifi is more complicated in that it depends on your hardware - what wifi hardware do you have?

Wifi hardware : Qualcomm Atheros AR9485
The notebook model : Asus Eee PC 1025C

>>http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/release/CorePlus-15.0.iso

I forgot to say , that I need dCore version because I want the installed OS to be able to use *.deb - packages

>>you can then use the tc-install extension to install Core or CorePure64 to hdd

As for extensions ... I would like to clarify this moment ? How can I install them manually ?

If I want the OS to be installed on HDD , and some extensions - what should I do ?

I must burn an iso (for instance , dCore image) to usb and then ... I format a selected HDD partition to ext4 and create on it a 'tce' directory ?Or the tce 'tce' directry must be on the usb drive with a burned iso ?

And I need to install the OS manually (via terminal) because the device's RAM isn't enough to load the version with GUI ... :(

more ram and an ssd might get you a little better performance(if possible).
just grabbed a random review for some specifications:

this might give you more of a feel for dCore wireless:

Yes , I did .I tried also to install simple Tiny  (not dCore) , but the graphical installer does not install the system on the selected  partion - it wants the whole disk :(  Is there a console way or a script to install the OS ?

I thought the tc-install extension could install to a hd partition or a full hd.

In case it doesn't, you could adapt the instructions here for a hd partition:

https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,19364.0.html

You could also see here:

It can, but I think you have to create the partition in advance.

Being at the same position of a TC newbie, I got TC installed in VirtualBox (x86 and x86_64 TC builds), in this case the whole (virtual) disk can be easily used and managed from a host os. It can be considered as an option.
