Requests for extensions

Now you have kompozer extension, and you don't need to load Xorg (23Mb) but skype_support.tcel extension with only 20Kb.
See:  http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=595.0

Good job! I have a brute force install but this is much better. Thanks for the contribution.

May I ask for powernowd as tce ? it is a cpu governor, works excellent with ubuntu, having difficulties with the laptop-mode-tools.

thanks for kompozer!

did xfe ever get compiled?

[Jason W]

xfe hit some snags with the fox toolkit, and I didn't look to hard at it.  I may try it again soon.

What's the problem with laptop-mode-tools? Maybe I can help?

Can I put in a formal request for some sort of torrent client - like bittorrent, but any that works and has a gui would do.

Thanks!

Having Apache2 in TCL opens up many possibilities, like running a small website entirely in memory in a virtual machine. This could generate a lot of interest in TCL.

Can someone create a PHP extension (ideally with the SQLite libraries as well)?

Xampp works fine and provides a nice complete package of apache, php, mysql and proftp.
 - Need to install bash shell extension
 - Need to install firewall extension ( has in it ipv6 support) - to avoid the ip version 6 errors


download xampp to home/tc
unpack xampp with tar per xampp instructions - Note tar command requires -f option last.
tar creates lampp dir in /opt - lampp can be moved to a usb stick (ext2) with use of symbolic link in /opt
symbolic link can be created with a command in bootlocal at boot time to maintain persistance
/opt/lampp/lampp start - to start all the services

Works great!

Note tar command requires -f option last.

That's interesting, because they have different instructions in the FAQ: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-linux.html

Step 2: Extracting the archive
Now extract the downloaded package:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-upgrade-x.x.x-y.y.y.tar.gz
By the way: It doesn't matter where in the filesystem you extract the packet. Just make sure it's on the same machine as your XAMPP installation.

i use -xvzf, whoever wrote the instructions is obviously using gnu tar, not the busybox version.

[mikshaw]

..or else it's a typo.
The -f option doesn't necessarily have to be last, it's just that it needs to be immediately followed by the filename.  You could just as easily do "tar -f filename.tar.gz -xz"

[tobiaus]

the two things i want most in tc right now are pcmanfm and qemu.

i like rox but i'd love a light fm with a tree folder view. xfe is heavier than pcmanfm, maybe pcmanfm is easier to compile.

Hello, I was wondering if someone could possibly throw together TCEs for the openal library, and mnemosyne (http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/)

Thanks!

my wish list:

- text browser
- bc (calculation)
- cli email
- nmap
- openoffice 3.x
- httrack

thanks

[Juanito]

I'll have a go at nmap - give me a couple of days to play around with it.

openoffice-3 is a real monster - did you see openoffice-2 is already available as an extension (as is a text browser, I believe)?
