does remastering relieve extension expansion labour?
« on: November 25, 2010, 08:01:32 AM »
Hi,
I would like to ask whether when tinycore is remastered it avoids all that extension loading/mounting/expanding/setting work that it does everytime, as it is in tce-load script.
Thanks

Short answer, depends on how you remaster.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

ezremaster can extract extensions directly into the remaster, which avoids all extension loading/mounting.  During the remaster process it will extract the extension dependencies in the correct order and it has a couple of options on how to handle extension startup scripts.   I am not aware of any extensions that don't work using this method.  Look for the "Extract TCZ in to initrd" option in ezremaster.
