Thanks Roberts
Unfortunately, putting my extensions in /opt/tce doesn't work with either VirtualBox booting from the iso OR from a physical CD.
Any other ideas?
I'd prefer not to use the UUID as my plan is to have many USB sticks created from my iso by people with no IT skill.
I'll explain... I have made modifications to make a dead simple and fast booting portable and secure TS client for people at work. All users see is a connect button, a vpn button and a shutdown button. The TS server is pre-configured and the VPN is setup for our corporate VPN server. If staff are at work, they click the connect button, if they are at home, they VPN first then connect.
My iso(s) at present:
Option1
- I have created an iso with my modifications
- I have actually put that iso, unetbootin and some dead simple instructions into a "Make Live USB" folder
- I then make another iso (with the same extensions) but include on it the Make Live USB folder
This means people can download a 40mb iso and burn to a CD. If they choose, they can also easily (within Windows) create a USB stick from that CD where ever they may be.
Option 2
- make 1 iso with my changes
- Put my Make USB Folder in the same location and people choose which to do, CD or USB
Option 3 (3rd and final stage and not finished yet)
- Make Option 1 iso but include qemu as well. The concept is that users could also plug their USB/CD into a 'running' Windows PC and fire up tinycore in a VM to connect to work. 1 image for 3 scenarios and total flexibility!
I don't believe my ideas for the best way to distribute my modified TinyCore should in any way be causing the problems I am experiencing, but it does mean that typing in bootcodes or identifying UUIDs etc will be too complicated for my target audience. I need it to just find the tce dir at boot.
Thanks heaps, tinycore is the best distribution I have found so far for my needs.
