How to load extensions from unetbootin "install"
« on: June 29, 2010, 04:23:03 AM »
If I install tc on a usb stick using unetbootin, then boot it up, install extensions right on the same usb stick in a /tce folder, I would expect those extensions to load next boot, but they don't. How would I go about having those extensions loaded at boot?

Do you have waitusb=5 boot option? You can add it easily editing syslinux.cfg in the root difrectory of the USB stick:

append initrd=/ubninit quiet max_loop=256 tinycore waitusb=5

Certain sticks require larger value, e.g. 10

A couple of simple checks:
  • Are those extenions listed in the '/tce/onboot.lst' file on the USB stick?
  • Are all files required really in the '/tce/optional' directory on the USB stick?
  • Has the "auto-detection" of the USB stick really worked (e.g. cat /opt/.tce_dir)?

Upon first boot from unetbootin use control panel Set TCE Drive then use appbrowser.
Set TCE Drive does all the setup needed on a new system.

Or just create an empty tce directory in the root of the USB stick, it will be recognised and used automatically by TC (don't forget the waitusb=5 boot option).
