ezremaster: Wizard that walks you step by step to remaster ISO of tinycore

Rich, thank you for the suggestion. However, when I download and load ALSA, it appears that the startup scripts handle all the setup I need (the directory /proc/asound is created and executing speaker-test produces results). I find that I do not need to execute 'alsaconf' or 'alsasound start'. Perhaps that is because I am using a usb sound card. Am I missing something?

Brian, I have downloaded TinyCore 4.2rc1 and will try the remaster with 2.0.3. Thanks for the hint that 4.2rc1 was available.

I have not been successful creating a remaster with a functioning alsa on boot. Using the option to add start scripts to bootlocal does create a bootlocal.sh with the startup scripts appended. Using the option to run start scripts in chroot option reports the error that file /etc/sysconfig/tcuser is not found. Both report that the iso was successfully created. I did not create iso CDs. Rather I copied the remastered core.gz into the boot directory of my hard drive (other files in the boot directory are comparable).

For both start option remasters, when the remaster boots the directory /proc/asound is not created and the system stats do not show any snd_ modules, unlike when alsa is downloaded and loaded from AppsBrowser. I also noted that system stats only shows alsa, alsa-config and pci-utils as installed. These 3 are the only ones with startup scripts. The other dependencies appear to be in the /usr/local directories but there are no corresponding files in tce.installed. When alsa is loaded with AppsBrowser, system stats show all the dependencies and there are empty files in tce.installed for those other than the 3 with startup scripts. Don't know if this matters.

Has anybody created a remaster with alsa that starts the sound modules on boot?

Hi gavs,
Please try using the "Add App inside initrd onboot" instead of "Add app extract TCZ to initrd".   Extracting will work with the majority of extensions, but it sounds like not with alsa.   Adding inside the initrd is very similar to extracting and you will still have everything contained within the core.gz file.   Please try this out and let us know if it works better for you.

Thanks for this suggestion Brian. Using "Add App inside initrd onboot" does result in a functioning alsa setup on boot (/proc/asound is created and I can execute speaker-test right after bootup and get sound). It appears to take longer to boot than extracting though.

Hello,

I am usin gTinycore4.2.1an the latest ezremaster, when i use "Add app extract TCZ to initrd", i get the error message "can´t open /usr/bin/sudo"
when i try to boot the cd  (it makes no difference wich radio button is activ)

When i use "Add app extract TCZ to initrd" i get a working Cd but after installing to pendrive, my tce's could not be updatet and booting takes about 2 minutes (system hangs on syslinux 4.xx...... line)

Regards
