Looks good.
I am already using gzs converted to tczs in my optional directory.

I was wondering if the rc core components could have rc in their names.
Ex: Xprogs-rc.tcz
I use symlinks to share optional between release and release-candidate tce directories.

Particularly using "rc" as suffix of files unrelated to 'run commands' might potentially lead to confusion.
Perhaps "-rel" or something else might be less problematic.

Well... "-rel" would seem to lose the "condidate" part.  I like the idea of using some kind of signal, though.  How about something indicating to -which- rc it applies, for the benefit of those of us who don't do cleanup diligently?  Something like  Xprogs-3.5rc1.tcz

What should the order be? If this is indeed important, it could perhaps be mentioned in the OP?

[roberts]

I only mentioned it because .gzs load before tczs. So to emulate prior setup place new tczs before existing tczs.

Perhaps intended, but after using "sudo tce-setup" and starting x and also rebooting with Xprogs, Xlibs, Xvesa, flwm, wbar in onboot.lst in that order, the screen background is black/blank.

Using panel/wallpaper/colour and chosing any colour brings back the screen background and tinycore logo.
