The Third Release Candidate of v2.3 (microcore_2.3RC3.iso), is now posted and ready for testing.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/release_candidates/microcore/

Change log for v2.3 Release Candidate 3

* 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.
* Dropped default autoscan of tclocal for improved boot speed.
* Dropped nolocal boot code as now not needed.
* Cleanup of unused or unlinked busybox applets.

Note: Grab new Xprogs.core.tczl for latest changes in X prgorams (appbrowser)
See Change log for tinycore v2.3RC3 for details.

'Noticed a couple of things:

The usb stick, from which I boot, is no longer mounted automatically
"startx" appears to be missing from the latest Xprogs.core.tczl

Edit: I wasn't thinking straight there - as the usb stick is not mounted on boot, then nothing in /mnt/sda1/tce is loaded, hence no Xprogs.core.tczl, hence no "startx"

Note my boot codes are: quiet vga=773 noswap tce=sda1 waitusb=5 noscan text

Hi!

For me everything seems to work allright. I boot MC frugal from the harddisk. Thanks a lot for all improvements!

Have fun,
meo

Nothing has changed that would account for this.
I would recommend to use UUID or LABEL instead of sda1

Juanito:
Hmm - using tce=UUID=yada-yada doesn't work either, but if I go back to RC2, but keep the latest Xprogs.core.tczl, then things work as expected again  ???
