https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,17969.msg108765.html#msg108765

(eg: download tc files/extensions , extract initalRAMfs , extract extensions , repack initial-ram-fs )

cd /tmp
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86_64/release/distribution_files/corepure64.gz
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86_64/release/distribution_files/vmlinuz64.gz
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86_64/tcz/fuse.tcz
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86_64/tcz/ntfs-3g.tcz

mkdir /tmp/remaster
mkdir /tmp/extension
cd /tmp/remaster
zcat /tmp/corepure64.gz | sudo cpio -i -H newc -d

sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop fuse.tcz /tmp/extension
cp -R /tmp/extension/* ./
sudo umount /tmp/extension

sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop ntfs-3g.tcz /tmp/extension
cp -R /tmp/extension/* ./
sudo umount /tmp/extension

sudo chroot /tmp/remaster depmod -a 3.16.6-tinycore64
sudo chroot /tmp/remaster ldconfig
sudo find | sudo cpio -o -H newc | gzip -2 > ../corepure64-ntfs.gz

That's all folks!  Be sure to note that the onboot.lst file (and any other tce directory files) need to be edited on a *LINUX* system, not a *MICROSOFT* system!  Also the above steps can be performed on any working Linux distro, not just a TC system.

sadly xorg is the same story...

TCL does not like this machines hardware......


.......i will try some other distros off pen drive to see if ANY native linux

hi vin(ce)
is this a report of some error ?

how was it (hw) configured ?
what (error???) happened? ( to reach the conclusion that "does not like this machines hardware"
AFAIK tcl is not sentient and there for totally indifferent wrt hw   )
  ???

Hello, Sir. Yes, it's a report of an error with the laptop I have here and its seeming lack of ability to even boot up tiny core.


Inside. The earlier messages of this thread. We tried. XOrg. via a simple command list

my command list Firstly connected me to a network. And then secondly it downloaded X org and a gui etc & it installed them all.

I then completed a simple "startx" command which resulted in a distorted TCL GUI desktop.

.......I now  intend to use a pen drive to try some other native Linux distros to see if they will boot with correct graphics on this machine.
