This is my regularly used TC test USB stick. Formatted with WIN XP, installed with unetbootin. Same procedure works with 2.6, 2.5, 2.4, ... One more thing. After base system starts, /dev/sda1 is not mounted. Extending waitusb time doesn't help.

re: libpopt
There is a popt extension that was made to accomodate the removal of libpopt from base. I can add it to the dep file of rsync.tcz.

Hello....ondemand is not working for me, although I have followed all instructions thus far:
(1) after changing permissions and editing .xfiletool.lst, the ondemand command does not bring up a prompt either as user or root....
(2) if I reboot to see if that might help bring up a prompt, the permissions all revert to root:root
plus,
(3) in the new cli "ab", I have to hit F-2 to get the "install...." choices to come up, "enter" just brings me to an "end" statement. Found F-2 by trial and error...
Thanks!

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

Robert and team Tinycore - looks like some very good improvements. It's great to see the focus on simplification.
Regarding the addition of "ab", I was wondering how you decided on the name. I would prefer it to be different than apache benchmark (ab) which I use on a regular basis.
