Hi!
Tinycore 2.9rc4 seems to work just fine. I use it as a production environment due to it's stability. There is one thing though that is bugging me. The boot messages starts with a typo. It reads: "IO APIC resources can be not be allocated". Just a very tiny thing but it's bugging me. Otherwise it works just fine for me in my activities that include a computer. So thanks a lot!
Have fun developing tinycore further,
