Start X?

I found this out: The problem was that I was using Ventoy to create the bootable USB stick. With Ventoy it only booted to command line.
With Balena Etcher I could actually start the desktop environment.

--- Code: ---  1. jwm.tcz
  2. Xfbdev-jwm-desktop.tcz
  3. Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz
  4. Xvesa-jwm-desktop.tcz
--- End code ---

chose 4
press q
press i
and then startx

If you use 64-bit TC version for x86 then Xvesa-jwm-desktop.tcz will be not available.

If you want long answer, then tell us what window manager you choose in TinyCorePlus.iso?

Hi youxiaojie
xfbdev  and  xvesa  are both lightweight.  xfbdev  might be a little faster.
