Change log for Tiny Core v2.9
Release Candidate 1
* Updated appbrowser - added "Provides" to search for "What provides", also speed improvements.
* Updated appsaudit - added "Display All Not Depends On".
* Updated tce-load - added support for recursive dependencies.
* Updated tc-config - persistent home and/or opt, changed ext only support to not Microsoft file system support.
* Updated ab to use tmp work files.
* Improved language support by auto loading locale support extension(s) when both "lang= " and the "-locale.tcz" extension(s) are available in tce/optional.
* Renamed *.core.gz to simply *.gz for ISO9660 compliance.
* Clean up of reported relics and empty directories.
* Updated f2 & f3 boot message screens.
* Fixed bug in tce-update easy mode.
* Dropped the embedded help file.
Notes:
Attention extension makers, please test the new recursive dependency process, but hold in abeyance until v2.9 is final.
Since the embedded help file has been dropped, your system menu, likely in your backup will need to be adjusted. Edit/remove such entry.
Release Candidate 2
* Upgraded busybox to stable 1.15.3
* Upgraded udev to 151.
* New "Set TCE Drive" in control panel to setup TCE directory, optional and mydata.tgz from cloud mode.
* Upgraded tce-load and appsaudit to support copy2fs flag and list in the base tce directory.
* Updated OnDemand to also support re-launching applicatons. Now one can always use the OnDemand menu section.
* Updated support for easy mode remastering /opt/tce now uses onboot.lst
* Updated tc-config to also make, if necessary, optional directory when tce= boot code is used.
* Added cache, .logo.xpm, and stats.txt to default /opt/.xfiletool.lst
* Updated /opt/.xfiletool.lst to persist OnDemand menu item across reboots via normal backup.
Notes: Files likely in your backup that need updating:

As reported for rc2 and still in rc3:
--- Quote ---rebuildfstab[2685]: segfault at 8 ip 0806f590 sp bffd8510 error 4 in busybox[8048000+7c000]
--- End quote ---
I see these only when I have wireless_tools in onboot.
Juanito:
I do not see any errors with
--- Code: ---$ sudo rebuildfstab /etc/fstab
--- End code ---

I first though this was something between tc-1.x and tc2.x, but in fact things work as expected in tc-1.x and tc-2.8.1 - the issue is with tc-2.9rc3 - something to do with udev?
I've recently tried updating my old kayak xu from tc-1.x to tc-2.x
For some reason no usb devices show up in tc-2.9rc3 - I've played around for a while without much progress.
On both tc-1.x and tc-2.9rc3, I get this:
--- Code: ---$ lspci
...
00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
...
00:10.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:10.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:10.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
00:10.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01)
--- End code ---
On tc-1.x, I get this:
--- Code: ---$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
usblp 11264 0
ohci_hcd 19076 0
--- End code ---
On tc-2.9rc3 (with usb ohci, ehci compiled in), I get this:
--- Code: ---$ lsmod
...
usblp 6556 0
--- End code ---
On tc-1.x, I get this:
--- Code: ---$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:a700 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 03f0:0211 Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet G85
--- End code ---
..but on tc-2.9rc3, "lsusb" doesn't show anything, but I do get this:
--- Code: ---$ lsusb -t
/: Bus 05.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=uhci_hcd/2p, 12M
/: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci_hcd/2p, 12M

/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci_hcd/2p, 12M
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M
|__ Port 3: Dev 2, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
--- End code ---
..and on tc-2.9rc3:
--- Code: ---$ dmesg | grep usb

--- End code ---
Juanito:
Also on tc-2.8.1 compared to tc-2.9rc3...
This works in .xsession tc-2.8.1:
--- Code: ---/usr/bin/Xvesa -br -screen 1280x1024x16 -shadow -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &
waitforX
...
--- End code ---
..but in tc-2.9rc3, I get a message about the screen mode requested not being supported - however, if I run xsetup.sh and chose the same thing - i.e. "1280x1024x16", then things work??
