http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/release_candidates/

* Updated flwm replaces jwm as default. Use jwm-snapshot extension for the latest jwm.
* New noautologin boot code. Be sure to have passwords setup, working, and saved.
* Updated tce-load now only calls flwget when appbrowser is running.
* Updated tce-load and tc-config now handles meta-extensions.
* Updated appbrowser, dropped "install optional" as unneeded with "install local" retaining last load location.
* Dropped default autoscan of tclocal for improved boot speed.
* Dropped nolocal boot code as now not needed.
* Cleanup of unused or unlinked busybox applets.
 

curaga:
Having not yet looked at the RC, does killing busybox init now work properly?

Robert could you elaborate a bit more on this. This used to support installing extensions temporarily from the optional directory.

roberts:
Select "Install Local" from menu.
Double click on optional folder from file chooser.
Now select extension as before. Subsequent install local will take you directly to optional folder.


Before we had two anchored menu items one always went to tce folder (install local)
The other aways went to tce folder optional directory (install optional)

Now install local will remember the last load local directory. It is no longer anchored, therefore no need to have a separate 'anchored' option.

Try it.

bigpcman:
I just tried out 2.3rc3 and could use some clarification on install local. If I'm not mistaken in tc2.2 install optional can install tce to ram or install tcz as a mount point. It's looks like if we end up with only tcz's as extensions then  looking forward with tc2.3rc3 install local does not allow selection of install or mount type of installation. Am I missing something here? The install / mount option appears to only be associated with an immediate install.
