Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
tinycore_2.4rc3
jpeters:
There doesn't seem to be much if any difference in the boot time with this version, and I'll certainly miss watching what is going on while booting. I like to see which programs are the pigs, conflicts, things that aren't installing correctly, permission problems, etc, etc, while it's booting. The rotdash is great for those who don't want to know what's happening. (psychologically, it makes the boot seem longer).

Let's clean up the DHCP message as well. Patch, also uploaded:

Hi again Robert!
Thanks for your response but I still think there is something that isn't well with the Refresh Menu option, The screen went black when pressing it. All was made from scratch with no backup or restore. I usually test this out when there is a new cut. After that (if nothing dramatically has changed) I just use tce=hda6 and restore=hda1. Those contain the apps I need and the files that have to be restored to make tinycore 2.4.x work on my 8,5 years old laptop. So I really find tinycore very swift and comfortable to use in my daily use of a computer. Thanks a lot to all of you who are making tinycore progress.
Have fun with tinycore,
meo

Hello, Robert
How about including the tftp/nfs patches from http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2705.0 ?
They allow an nfs share to be used just like a drive for PPR/TCZ.
Other people are using the patch, and have said they would like it added.

I have a NIC that requires additional firmware. In some previous versions, I had to install the separate firmware extension. However, in 2.4rc1, it looked like the firmware was being installed automatically. Now in 2.4rc3, I'm getting a message at the end of boot-up "etho: failed to load firmware tigon/tg3_ts05.bin". On the other hand, the NIC appears to be working properly.
