--- Quote ---If it boots from harddisk you van put the tinycore or coreplus iso on the disk and boot the kernel from there by modifying the extlinux.conf.
You could not do that on the cd as that was read only I guess.
What I try to say: you are now manually trying to reconstruct the tinycore suite from the textbased basic core. That is of course possible by adding the correct apps but is quite painful. Using the “preconfigured iso” brings less trouble.
And with that said, please check again on whether you are sure you want to use bootcode root=xxx. As I mentioned earlier I feel doing throws the main advantage of tinycore in the bin.

Dude, I'm installing dCore.iso, I'm not trying to install Tinycore. You seem to have misunderstood what I am asking for help with. First I have 64 bit dCore installed. When I tried to add a desktop GUI, the 64-bit system simply downloaded files and files from the 32-bit system, and the error is that it cannot start because there is a problem with files and paths.

A.. got that wrong. I now better understand the whole thread.
Pardon me. I was just trying to help. It can be a steep learning curve to enter the eco system.

root= is a boot code:

Those "boot codes" are for Tinycore. Any boot code the kernel does not recognize
gets ignored. if you look at /etc/init.d/tc-config you'll find that it deals with its own
boot codes by parsing /proc/cmdline.
Enter this command and you'll see which boot codes were used on your system:
--- Code: ---cat /proc/cmdline
--- End code ---

Holy moly…. What an about endless list….. pfff….
But ehhh… than using the root=xxx bootcode I consider extremely sad. The full idea of tinycore running in ram with kernel mounted from compressed file is gone than.

I was only using root as example of what command line kernel args and bootcodes.
--- Code: ---root=/dev/ram0
--- End code ---
Can be also used.
or
--- Code: ---root=/dev/ram
--- End code ---
