Notice ttf-bitstream-vera.tcz within libglade.tcz.dep. TC 2.8.1 didn't load it as it hadn't recursive dependency resolution, while 2.9rcX does.

ttf-bitstream-vera was at one point used as the default font for gtk2 apps.  It is no longer a requirement so it is not listed in many newer dep files.  Neither of those dep files in the repo were intended to be recursive.   And since extension makers have some liberty to include dependencies that may not be absolutely necessary, there are likely other ones that contain non-essential entries.

[MakodFilu]

Maybe, but it just gives us an opportunity to test the recursive dependency feature.

[Jason W]

Oh, ok.  I misunderstood.

The firmware isn't loading. I have the firmware-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz extension mounted on boot but am getting this message:

e100: eth0: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load firmware "e100/d102e_ucode.bin": -2

This firmware is found in the firmware extension at /lib/firmware/e100/d102e_ucode.bin

I get the same results with the cpio and upxed kernels. depmod -ae does not fix this. Neither does a rmmod e100 then modprobe e100.

What else can I try to get this to work?

The firmware bug has already been posted: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=4966.0
It is fixed in rc3. I will be it posting soon.

# Example usage:
# tce-load -i /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/nano.tcz   Loads local extension
# tce-load -w -i nano.tcz                                 Download into tce/optional directory, updates OnBoot and installs
# tce-load -w nano.tcz                                    Download only into tce/optional directory

Could this post be updated with how tce-load works relative to the copy2fs list and flag?

Also, is there a way to perform a "tce-load -i .../mylocation" such that the extension is copied to the file system?

Add -c for a one time copy into filesystem to be used in combination with -i.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know there was a -c option.
