gerald_clark:
Your directory name should be tce, not tcz.
You can use midnight commander to manage symlinks from tce/optional to tce.

curaga:
If you wish to load some extensions always, even with the base bootcode, just make bootlocal.sh load them first:

tce-load -i /path/to/kmaps.tcz
tce-load -i /path/to/bash.tcz
loadkmap < ....

This shouldn't hurt in a normal boot either, because if already installed tce-load just exits.

alu:
at gerald_clark: my folder is /tce, maybe i wrote 'tcz', but it's /tce; my tcz extensions are now in /tce/optional; bash.tcz and kmaps.tcz have been symlinked to /tce.

at curaga: yes, this is already what i do with kmaps.tcz; however, you put me on a possible solution: can i do the following?

- i have kmaps.tcz and bash.tcz symlinked from /tce/optional to /tce;
- i place the *.core.gz extensions in /tce/optional;
- i boot mc without base, and with 'restore=hda1' in order to load my preferences;
- i write in my bootlocal.sh the following lines:

loadkmaps < /user/share....
ln -s /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/Xlibs.core.gz /mnt/hda1/tce
ln -s /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/Xprogs.core.gz /mnt/hda1/tce
ln -s /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/Xvesa.core.gz /mnt/hda1/tce

i assume that i can keep my customize keyboard layout, and that i would have the possibility to run 'tce-setup' in order to load the *.core.gz extension when i need to boot into X? (this is a question)

what do you think? (i don't have the possibility to control it by myself right now, sorry)

EDIT: actually, i think that my main concern is that tce-setup seems to look only in the /tce directory, even if you write full path (as for example: tce-setup /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/Xprogs.core.gz returns an error message).

roberts:
.core.gz are not extensions. They are initramfs. tce-setup is not just for core.gz
tce-setup has been in use for many releases.

It has been explained to load your bash and keyboard which are extension via /opt/bootlocal.sh
Change your boot loader to include base

Boot. You have microcore CLI + bash + your keymap.

If you want full X, then run tce-setup, it will load the core.gz from tce folder and your selected tczs via links into tce/optional. You can use MC to update the links for extensions or if in X use appsaudit.

Operationally this is as it was before. Only you never used it before because of your custom setup requiring custom scripts.

Juanito:
I'm not at a tc machine to try, but wouldn't bootlocal try to run tce-load as root?
