updating

(1/2) > >>

jpeters:
I tried to update by unpacking the  iso, and replacing my old bzimage, isolinux, and tinycore.gz (in hd/tinycore). I guess this isn't the way to do it, because the new boot hung for about a minute looking for my non-existent floppy drive...giving IO errors.  What is the correct way to update, avoiding having to burn a new CD?  Thanks..

roberts:
Until we do a kernel upgrade, should only need to copy over the new tinycore.gz and any files that I usually list as likely in your persistent store.

I unpacked 1.2.rc2,.iso and copied tinycore.gz  to /hd/tinycore. 
The resulting boot hangs up looking for fd0 with something like:
"end-request i/o   dev fd0 sector 0 " for about 30 seconds, Then it tries for another 30 sec before repeating the error message. After another 30 seconds, there's something like:
"buffer i/o/  error device fd0. Another 30 seconds to repeat the initial error before moving on to complete the boot.  It's been I guess about 12 years since  I used a floppy.
 

Juanito:
Something along these lines works fine for me - both with the stock bzImage and a recompiled bzImage:
--- Code: ---$ mkdir /tmp/image
$ sudo mount -o loop /mnt/sda1/iso/tinycore_1.2rc2.iso /tmp/image
$ sudo cp /tmp/image/boot/tinycore.gz /mnt/sda1/boot
$ sync
$ sudo umount /tmp/image
--- End code ---

I like that better than unpacking with 7-zip, but doesn't eliminate the bug. Did you try on a computer without a floppy?
