tinycore_2.7rc1.iso
tinycore_2.7rc1.iso.md5.txt

The theme for v2.7 is make TC/MC simplier by promoting the 'mount install' method.

Change log for v2.7rc1:

* Updated tce-load - dropped l,m,lm,ml testing, ldconfig always called, depmod based on /usr/local/lib/modules, dropped -r option
* Renamed tcz2ram.flg, tcz2ram.lst to copy2fs.flg and copy2fs.lst
* Updated appbrowser - single 'Install' button and renamed 'Download Only' to 'OnDemand'
* Updated appsaudit - new menu option 'Install Options' to maintain copy2fs.flg and copy2fs.lst
* New 'ondemand' - create flwm right click menu shortcuts to load and start applications from /tce/optional - tune your system for faster boot times.
* New cache-clear script.
* Removed mbchk and libpopt* as unneeded in base.
* Stripped more libs for smaller size.
* Updated exitcheck.sh to call /opt/shutdown.sh for user shutdown time commands.
* New 'ab' a tiny command line appbrowser in shell
* New boot code xvesa=WxHxD, e.g. xvesa=800x600x32 to set default Xvesa resolution bypassing xsetup
* Updated tce-update and tce-setup to implement an 'easy mode' to update extensions in your tce folder

Notes:

Updated extensions needed for v2.7 now posted:

rsync.tcz
OSS.tcz

Note to use OnDemand for flwm, you need to update your /opt/.xfiletool.lst and change:
home/tc/.wmx  to  home/tc/.wmx/Applications

Juanito:
There's perhaps a permissions error?

Booting "base norestore":
--- Code: ---$ sudo tce-setup
$ startx
$ ls -al /home/tc
...
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root          160 Dec 17 10:04 .wmx/
--- End code ---

After changing ~/.wmx to tc:staff, ondemand seems to work.

Are these in the usual repo? If so the info file isn't updated?

bmarkus:
Running from an USB stick (single 512k VFAT partition with /tce dir) with LXDE, mc and Xorg installed from the repo it works fine. Placing an empty tcz2ram.flg to /tce system boots to base only. No extensions loaded, /usr/local/tce.installed dir is empty. copy2fs.flg works as expected.

EDIT:

Tried the same stick with another machine. No extensions are loaded even if there are no tcz2ram.flg so it has nothing to do with it, problem is something else.

EDIT:

Third machine tested, works fine.
