@tejjyid: Yes you can.

If your Windows partition is a FAT or FAT32 type you just need to do mount /dev/hda1 This assumes that TC has correctly identified the partition. You can check this with cat /etc/fstab

For NTFS partitions you'll need the ntfs-3g.tcz extension. You can then mount with sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 Please use the correct device (and mount point) for your case. Furthermore, there is also a NTFS module in 'filesystems-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz', but this is AFAIK limited to read-only access.

Thanks to both loserguy & maro (and everybody else). TC Up & running! Very impressed so far. This is the 3rd LX distro I've tried & the 1st one to get working...


****back, with edits******** ???
OK, now I have a few more problems. It seems everything was fine after the 1st install, but now, post shutdown & restart, it's not so clear.

When I click on the WICD icon, no window appears. I checked with netconfig; seems wlan0 isn't up/on/visible. The _coffee driver is still present.

I found a post saying you might need to run a script wlan0up, but when I run that I get a string of "Can't insert ieee8211_crypt-rtl.ko......Unknown symbol in module or unknown parameter"

Loserguy, you mentioned you had wireless running on an MSI, what's your boot setup? Off a harddrive or a pendrive? And which persistence option do you use? I'm thinking maybe the problem is the way I've got TC starting up, but guessing really.

Have you run wicd-start before clicking the WICD icon?  Took me a while to figure out I needed to do this.

@tejjyid
I'm using norestore boot codes with confs stored in a "zzzsettings.tcz". I just added a simple script to run in the background at startup as was outlined here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/rt2860.tcz.info

Guessing at this point, but have you checked to see if the required extensions and their dependencies are getting loaded (appsaudit)?

@ mwoodruff
Thanks! I'm going to try WICD too  :)

tejjyid:
Thanks for the wicd-start tip, now wicd is operational. But it can't see wlan0 either.

This is puzzling, because immediately after installing the Rtl8187se_coffee.tcz, I could see wlan0. Now it is permanently installed, no dice. Maybe I can de-install & re-install.

Also, I'll check the appsaudit & let you know how it goes.
