Doh! Forgot on last time: in boot.msg no mentioning of F4:

--- Code: ---Press <Enter> to begin or F2 and/or F3 for boot options.
--- End code ---

How about:

--- Code: ---Press <Enter> to begin or F2, F3 and/or F4 for boot options.
--- End code ---

Guy:
I have installed Tinycore_v3.3rc2. Have not used it very long yet.

I like the idea of having a file manager and text editor in the base. Anything which makes it easier for new users is an improvement.

Question: How do you run the file manager and text editor as root?

With most other file managers there is an up arrow to go up a directory. With this file manager, you need to click Change dir then Parent dir. I find this annoying, particularly when I go up more than one directory.

These are very early observations. I may notice other things as I use it more.

Answer:  From RunProgram enter "sudo mfm"
As to going up one directory, use the hot key ALT-U as the dropdown menu shows.
