ezremaster: Wizard that walks you step by step to remaster ISO of tinycore
ixbrian:
A new version is attached is the first post in this thread with the following changes:
-Program was renamed from tc_remaster to ezremaster.
-Supports optionally setting the copy2fs.flg when remastering with extensions that are outside the initrd. There is a checkbox to enable/disable this.
-Supports the new 3.1 bootcodes multivt and safebackup

Hi Brian
Firstly, tremendous work with ezremaster!
I've used ezremaster to add extra extensions ("Extract TCZ to initrd" / "Add TCZ startup scripts to bootlocal.sh" options) to the original Tiny Core iso. I didn't include any bootcodes or scripts in the remaster, just extensions.
I then treat this remaster as an updated iso and install TC to a SATA / Compact Flash combo. (diy SSD!)
Am I still able to add further extensions to the installed TC by nominating a tce directory and proceeding as per a normal installation?
Best, Miller.

Yes, this should work just like a normal installation.

I apologize I am bringing back to life an old thread rather than opening a new one... My question just fits here best...
Brian,
First, congrats on a great job in creating a nice re-master prog.
Quick question: As I understand this is not a Live re-master, meaning re-mastering of the live TC environment, such as in Zenwalk and Salix? In other words, any customizations of settings and preferences will not be preserved?
E.g. will not carry any browser preferences or cookies...

If you use Tiny Core's backup/restore functionality, the ezremaster wizard provides the ability to include your backup in your remaster (by either including the single backup tar file, or by extracting your backup file directly into the remastered initrd). If you do this, then all of your settings that are in your backup (such as browser preferences/cookies, etc.) will be included in the remaster.
Also, on the last page of the wizard, it provides you the ability to copy over or modify any other files that you would like included in the remaster.
