HELP - Installation Information

<< < (3/8) > >>

Stefann:
see here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install.html

What I did:
- install with what I thought I would need
- use for some time to understand what I really needed
- re-install with what I really needed.

I started with th plus but as I do not need wifi I replaced that by base later.

One recommendation I have (the way I did)
create 2 partitions:
- 1 for tiny core
- 1 "working directory"

The "working directory" is NOT my home, I have a non-persistent home.
Its just the directory where I have most of my data.

The benefit:
- now partition 1 is quite clean. It has tiny core and all extensions. it also has the backup for home, settings and opt (everything in .filetool.lst).
- partition 2 is fully customised.

IF in future I upgrade to a newer tiny core I just have to make sure to copy the backup file and the tce directory. to partition2.
Than I can install with a formatting of partition 1 again.

To do this:
- format disk with disk first to create the 2 partitions.
- in the installer select "partition" instead of "whole disk"

on a 8G flashdrive I have reserved 4G on both partitions. If it would need to fit on 1 G I would do 700M/300M.

NarakuITA:
Sorry for my ignorance. But what is the option that allows me to install everything? as you said first you installed everything then, after you reinstalled only what you needed. being inexperienced for now I try to install everything.

Rich:
Hi NarakuITA
When the CD boots, a (blue ?) menu will come up, Hit enter
so it boots the default configuration.

When running the install utility:
http://tinycorelinux.net/install.html
At step 3 pick ext4.
At step 5 pick Core and X/GUI Desktop, select all of the checkboxes.

Perfect, I understand. Question how do I create a swap partition?
In the Boot options Reference list, I noticed a command:
Swapfile{=hda1} is this the command to specify how much swap to have? I would like to add 1GB of swap, what should I do?
To change the language and the keyboard to Italian, just write:
lang=it and kmap=it??
I was reading application installation persistence needs to use commands:
home={hda1|sda1} and local={hda1|sda1}? What exactly should I write?

Stefann:
Step 4,
In the white line you can specify the boot options separated by space.
If you have pre made partitions in step 1 you will have a choice sda1, sda2, sda3… or sdb1, sdx2, sdb3,… or other name.
If you did whole dis ar step 1 you only can choose sda1, sdb1 ot other name. You know the name as the disk name is shown in step 1.

Note: you can change these later in the tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file
