« on: December 31, 2009, 06:38:09 AM »
Hi, I believe I have found an error in the install instructions.
When setting up the menulst in grub, in the line

kernel /boot/bzlmage quiet

the l in bzlmage should be I

Could the captain please check this and change if necessary.
Thanks for a great program
Robert

It should be capital i

It probably is.

When installing, you can copy and paste, and it should be correct.

It's a capital i.

Yes Guy, it should be a capital i but it is a lowercase l. It took me a while to work out why I could not get it to work. If someone could change the install instructions , it might prevent another linux beginner some angst.

I checked, and found a capital i.

If you really believe there is an error, be specific about exactly where it is.

A capital i and lowercase l may look the same.

OK,
on this page - http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html

6. Installing GRUB

Enter the following:
default 0
timeout 10
title tinycore
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz

This line
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet

Whoa Stop.
There is the problem.
On my computer, The capital i looks like this - l instead of this - I
I am using Firefox 3.5.6.
Must be something to do with the fonts.
Sorry about that.

Added a note about copy & paste on that section.
