Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
tinycore_v2.8rc1
u54749:
Can you explain why the symlinker line in tce-load is
sudo cp -as /tmp/tcloop/"$APPNAME"/. /
instead of
sudo cp -as /tmp/tcloop/"$APPNAME"/* /
the first gives as result
/usr/local/bin/dillo -> /tmp/tcloop/dillo2/./usr/local/bin/dillo
you have a spurious "/./"
the second line gives a clean link
/usr/local/bin/dillo -> /tmp/tcloop//dillo2/usr/local/bin/dillo
except for this both lines seem to work the same....
Only a detail - more interested in the reason behind this than in the "fix"
I suppose there is a side effect I don't know
^thehatsrule^:
Could probably use
--- Code: ---sudo cp -as /tmp/tcloop/"$APPNAME"
--- End code ---

Thanks, for the feedback. Will clean it up.

* After much Team testing and input, the upx'ed kernel returns, prior kernel is in distribution files.
--- End quote ---
I was one of the victims in tha last cycle of of the upx'ed kernel on my ACER ASPIRE 5720Z notebook experiencing booting problems and random feezes. Now booting works fine after 8-10 tries, but still I see random freezes frequently when using 2.8rc1
As I remember I was not the only one. For sure we need the standard kernel and there will be otheres, not reporting it just simply throw away TC/MC after testing.
I kindly ask not to use upx'ed kernel. Gain is musch less than trouble caused.

* Dropped GNU ftp from base.
--- End quote ---
It is true, that ftp is not really needed in the base, however there are some basic tools what is expected to be in all LINUX distribution, like telnet, ping, ... In TC most of them are provided by busybox and I don't think ftp with its 62k is harming too much.
What is about dropbearmulti? It is double sized compared to ftp and for sure SSH is not used by most of the users.
