Oh, yeah. I wanted to thank for explaining how the waitusb works, I didn't know you could wait for a specific UUID, I might use that on a machine with a spinning USB drive.

The base keyword tells it you don't want to load any extensions.
Since you are booting from a USB device, you might want to append:
--- Code: ---waitusb=5
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
Thanks, Rich. I'll try the waitusb. For my "Step 1", I was trying to boot the minimal GUI for TC 16 as you get when you download and boot the version 15.0 CorePure64 .iso (19.5 MB). I was expecting that all the needed files are in rootfs64.gz and modules.gz which I merged to one init ram fs, but maybe that was a bad assumption. Is the simple Xvesa/Wayland GUI and FLWM and base FLTK apps like AppBrowser and terminal in these init ram fs files or do I need some extensions to boot the minimum GUI? I want to make sure I'm running the latest FLWM and apps from Juanito.

Hi MikeLockmoore
There are no GUI components in the initrd.
For a GUI:
--- Code: ---tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7 flwm_topside aterm wbar
startx
--- End code ---
If you are running x86 (32 bit only) and want to use Xvesa:
--- Code: ---tce-load -wi Xvesa flwm_topside aterm wbar
startx
--- End code ---
Juanito:
Some users are reporting that firmware will not load from /usr/local/lib/firmware - has anybody else seen this problem?

Ah, OK. Thanks for helping me again. I've tried to fetch all of the dependencies. I am getting a checksum error on FLTK-1.4, which is needed by flwm/flwm_topside at least I can't try startx yet.
@Juanito: do you need to update the checksum for FLTK-1.4.tcz?
