That's our lingo, it's just the default way how TC is installed.

gadget42: how is that related?
Also, WSL means Windows Subsystem Linux. Yes, yes, and I think so (it can access http, otherwise how would I use git?). However, I don’t think I will need it.

Hi zaydiscool777
It's not related. Just someone creating noise where they shouldn't.

When I first installed TC6 on my ancient laptop years ago, I hadn't yet found a working WiFi adapter and couldn't get the Ethernet working, so to begin with, I just downloaded TCZ (and *.tcz.*) files directly (in my case, from http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz/, but you'll want the repo for your version of TC, probably TC15?) and transferred them via USB stick to
--- Code: ---/mnt/sda1/tce/optional/
--- End code ---
, then added the filenames to
--- Code: ---/mnt/sda1/tce/onboot.lst
--- End code ---
and rebooted.  Basically, it can be done, but is a bit of work...  It got a lot easier when I found a couple of 802.11b PCMCIA cards that were old enough to be supported by the motherboard, though.
