How to install local tcz on another workstation

[TroyB]

Hi All,

I just started using TCL for a couple of days now and loving over the other over bloated distro. I am in the process of install in on another workstation and have the base setup installed.

I just copy the /tce/optionals fold with all the program I install on this workstation that I am typing this request. I have move all the tcz over to the same location I have copy it from to the new workstation and when I install the same programs using appsbroswer local, it installs on the bar (wbar) but it does not stay there on the reboot.

Is there away I can make it stay there for use?

thanks for your time.

I am not sure exactly what you have done.

Try Apps Audit, then On Boot or On Demand, then maintenance. Click on any extensions (on the left) you want in On Boot or On Demand.

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the prompt reply,

Sorry for the confusing post, what I have done is copy the mnt/sda1/tce/optionals fold, which has the tcz programs I installed on this workstation to another workstation in the same location and tried to install the same programs on it.

I tried what you have suggested and it works for one program (evince), but the only problem now is that when I added the other programs to onboot and rebooted it. I am at the command line telling the that it can't find the folder or directory, as well it is out of space. This is when it was suppose to boot into the GUI.

Is there a way I can remove the list of things in the onboot? or why it doesn't boot all the request apps?

The workstation is a PIII with 256mb.

Thanks again for your help

You can remove them by going back to Apps Audit and clicking on them.

If you are out of RAM space, you would be better using On Demand. You should also set up a swap partition, if you have not done so already.

When you say out of space, it may be hard drive space.

Hi Guy

The workstation has a 40gig hdd and I allocated about 1.5gig for swap. I have added swapfile=hda2 in my grub.cfg. But I can't get into the GUI right now to remove in appsaudit, is there away I can remove them in the command line?

Sorry, I'm just learning my away around.

Thanks again

You just need to edit /tce/onboot.lst

Thank you Juanito & Guy for all your help...an old workstation saved from the dumps.

With those specs it would be more likely to run out of space on tmpfs.
You can check by:

Code: [Select]

df |grep tmpfs

I can't figure what "out of space" would refer to...

[TroyB]

Tinypoodle,

Would this messages show up on dmesg?

[tinypoodle]

I have no idea really...

Also you could boot with parameter 'syslog' and could then examine /var/log/messages
