wait ok, there is a new icon/button on the bar at the bottom. That works to the point where I can get it to ask me for the wifi password.
Let me see

I am now downloading Firefox and if it works, I am gonna nuke this laptop's hard drive and use the whole disk for Tiny Core Linux.
Should I start new threads somewhere else? There is ton I need to ask about.


Thanks all for the help on the WIFI!!!

Hi MaxFury
Yes, start another thread. Try to keep one topic per thread.

Hi MaxFury
If you click on the icon of the screw head with a blue arrow on it and click on apps -> browse, you should see the extension repo
Then type jwm in the search field and hit enter.
Click on the extension you want to highlight it.
Click Go and it will download and add it to onboot.lst.
When you reboot, it should load and start jwm.

Please take an hour to read this fine book:
http://tinycorelinux.net/corebook.pdf
It will give you a better understanding of how Tinycore works.

It rarely works, but it can sometimes pick up something

Hi MaxFury
Are you in an area with a lot of wireless access points?
