General TC > Tiny Core on Virtual Machines

Anyone succeeded with installing vmware on TC?

Ulysses_:
Currently using the timestamp method for another purpose, to find out what might be missing from a "tce-load -wi" download that is not missing from an Appbrowser download resulting in vmware being uninstallable in the former case.

Hasn't anyone noticed the error messages while "tce-load -wi" is downloading?

Ulysses_:
The instructions that used to work for this do not currently.  Neither in TC 3.2, nor in TC 3.3.  Here's the script that used to work:

Part 1:

for e in compiletc bash coreutils module-init-tools linux-headers-$(uname -r) Xorg-7.5 alsa GConf; do tce-load -wi $e; done

Now exit X, and type startx

Part 2:

for n in $(seq 0 6); do sudo mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/rc$n.d/; done
sudo bash VMware-Player-3.1.0-261024.i386.bundle
if [ ! -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware ]; then
echo VMware .bundle installation script has failed
exit
fi
sudo sed 's:/sbin/::' -i /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware start

Currently this exits with "VMware .bundle installation script has failed"

I repeated my procedure with a "base norestore" boot of 32-bit Tiny Core 3.3 and it still works for me. Note that I used VMware Player 3.1.2:

Here is my script:

PLAYER=VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.i386.bundle
for e in compiletc bash coreutils module-init-tools linux-headers-$(uname -r); do
[ -d /tmp/tcloop/$e ] || tce-load -i $e
done

for n in $(seq 0 6); do sudo mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/rc$n.d/; done

ls $PLAYER >/dev/null || exit
yes no | sudo bash $PLAYER

ls /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware >/dev/null || exit
sudo sed 's:/sbin/::' -i /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware

which vmware-modconfig >/dev/null || exit
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware start
for e in Xorg-7.5 GConf alsa; do
[ -d /tmp/tcloop/$e ] || tce-load -i $e
done

I was able to create a VM and run Tiny Core within the VM.

Ulysses_:
Thanks.  Back to working order.  Any newbie reading, better replace -i with -wi after tce-load.

In the interest of future users running this script, it would be nice if they could run it with current extensions and current TC.  Otherwise it might not work.

Do you have a public place where current extensions that are relevant to TC as a host for vmware can go?

Ulysses_:
Is Xorg-7.5-vmware.tcz for TC as a guest only?
