tc partial boots then freezes

Assuming you know how to use puppy, make a directory on hda2 called tce.
From puppy copy Xfbdev.tce into tce directory.

Boot tinycore with

tinycore textmode tce=hda2 restore=hda2

edit /home/tc.xsession to change Xserver from Xvesa to Xfbdev

startx

Upon shutdown perform a backup.

mmrr:
what i think is to do:
am i making a mistake?
end present livecd attempt on target
reboot target to puppy, [puppy not connecting to net],
'mkdir /tce' is that correct?....or by gui...a directory in root named tce which tc will find at startup

using xp compu go to tce place @ tc website, d-load Xfbdev.tce, cp to cd.
using puppy on target compu,  cp from cd to directory--/tce

the rest is clearer for me so if i can get to here then fine.

there may be some simpler way than what i've written out above, so i'll wait awhile in case
any thing is mentioned, thanks, mm

roberts:
The tce directory needs to be a leve 1  /tce

Not under /root/ or any other user or directory.

I am not familiar with Puppy. I know some other members are perhaps they can comment here.

mmrr:
i think /tce is first level; i'll try it...thanks, mm

so far so good ...when i booted with tc i caught a glimpse of 'fbdev' as lines whizzed past

i'm at root login on tty1,

when i enter 'edit  /home/tc.xsession', reply is '-sh: edit: not found'

i need more code please---full code all the way through to working video, ideally, though

i think that is not always/often possible,  thanks, cheers, mm

roberts:
OK. Lets try a no edit approach.

I assume that you have booted with Xfbdev now loaded and are at the $ prompt

type the following commands:

echo "Xfbdev -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -nolisten tcp -I 2>&1 > /dev/null &" > .xsession

echo jwm >> .xsession

startx
