tinycore_2.6rc1.iso
tinycore_2.6rc1.iso.md5.txt

Change log for v2.6rc1:

* Updated bzImage for smaller size (upx'ed)
* Updated rebuildfstab to drop extra mount points.
* New select utility replaces dialog
* Dropped dialog, use dialog.tcz extension (posted)
* Updated xsetup.sh
* Updated mktclocal
* Updated tc-terminal-server
* Updated cpanel to add Apps Audit
* Updated missing link libpng.so
* Updated blkid, libblkid, and libuuid
* Dropped cryptohome support.
* Updated tc-config
* Updated rc.shutdown
* Busybox mount and losetup replaces GNU versions
* Fixed bug in flwm_topside_restart
* Updated flwm menu .wmx to reflect recent changes.

Notes:
Be sure to update your kernel, with new smaller, boots faster, bzImage.

I decided to drop dialog as it is quite big and only used by three
programs, which are rarely used. Also, dialog screen gets
easily messed up when booting with xsetup.

Cryptohome was dropped by team decision.

Note also; the distribution files are also availble:

I guess you know that "update" uses dialog.  Can you include it as an extension? Thanks.

I just compiled 1.1-20080819, but it's 12 K larger, so your's should work fine. Thanks.  
I guess we're really moving into gui land, when 64 K is too much to spend for a dialogue box.  
(although I don't know about the xsetup issue).

Good news, now we can drop hal_support.tczl which is replacing libblkid, and libuuid needed by HAL. Thanks!
