maro:
It looks like the new BusyBox version has the "VI editing mode" enabled. Thanks a lot Robert for picking up this user request!!

Mind you it's pretty limited, e.g. no shell command history search, which is the feature I'm very much used to. This is not a TC problem, but rather something to suggest to the BusyBox folks. I don't want to come across as ungrateful, I just thought I'd share my little observation.

Hi again!

Been busy. I think that the boot code I get might be useful. I'm using alsa by the way. These are the two final lines I get while booting:

Starting sound driver: snd-nm256
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

I hope that this can pinpoint the problem with the sound in tinycore 2.9rc2. When I start Xmms the sound is put to zero and even if I move the sound slider there is still no sound. I had alsamixergui installed too so I tried to start it but got an error message of a missing file if I remember correctly. Hope this is of any help.

Have fun advancing this amazing distro,
meo

Got my sound working by manually adding 2 commented-out lines in the start-up script to .xsession, so now all's well with rc2.

Juanito:
alsa is working for me in 2.9rc2 using:

alsa-modules-2.6.29.1-tinycore
libasound
libpci
pci-utils
alsa-config

and then:
--- Code: ---$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start
--- End code ---

Looks like alsa sound is being taken care of at the extension level supporting both the udev update as well as the prior version.

One area tha I have gotten no public feedback, yet had many past requests, is recursion. These requests came as a result of the tedious process to collect and specify all dependencies to the top level application. And then again, if any changes occurred. It is probably more difficult to undo these top level monolithic dep files than if we had started with recursion.

In that regard, I want to point out a script that Helander created that might be helpful in (re)creating the dep files.   http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4599.msg24115#msg24115

I am hoping to hear some positive feedback from extension makers now that we can support recursion.
