Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
tinycore_2.4rc3

That has been there for many releases. It provides a simple way to remaster.

Hi Robert!
The new cut seems to work pretty fine at first glance. There is one problem though that has been the same throughout the rc cycle. I boot with base, norestore, xsetup, mount beaver and emelfm and press Refresh Menu, then the screen goes black. But if I reboot with the tce directory specified and also the same with restore, everything works fine. Thanks to the TC team for continually refining the distribution.
Have fun,

meo, I could not reproduce. Did the same steps. You are using appbrowser to load local? By using appbrowser load local the menu and icons were refreshed. No action needed. Perhaps you are using a different window manager? If you are using jwm you should be using the one in the release candidate area. Please give more information.

Hi again Robert!
Here comes the whole shabang. These are all the boot codes I use: quiet vga=791 noicons tz=Europe/Stockholm tcvd=hde1/harddisk base norestore xsetup. I ran it all from scratch using the appbrowser mount function. So the only extensions I installed (mounted) were beaver and emelfm. Then I pressed the Refresh Menu to get access to the extensions but the screen went black. Maybe I installed (mount option on the app browser) links too I don't remember. The strange thing is that I looked through the harddrive and the compact flash card that I have in a PCMCIA adapter but I could not find the extensions. I even manually mounted the virtual hd that I have on the flash card to see if they were there but I couldn't find them. I have a tce directory in the root of hda6 which I have formatted in ext3 and it also contains another linux distro. So I'm kind of puzzled but I hope this information can be of help.
Have fun developing tinycore further,
meo
roberts:
Using the 'base' boot option will set the tce directory to /tmp/tce and so the mounted extensions were not saved. If you wanted them saved on the virtual drive then you would need both tcvd=hde1/harddisk tce=tvcd The first to setup the virtual drive, the second to set tce to use the virtual drive.
