But TC seems then impossible to do on NTFS unless you first install it on something else and makes it ntfs-3g compatible?

Are you sure it is not possible? Have none explained how to in the whole forum?

You seem to mix up a lot of things due to not thoroughly reading basic documentation first...

1. Frugal installs are supported out of the box on FAT* and ext* filesystems.
That is a choice of the developers made about specific filesystems, not at all about a linux partition or not, as neither FAT* are linux filesystems nor are any UNIX /Linux filesystems beyond ext* supported.

2. A UNIX filesystem would be required for any - even partial - "hybrid" type install approach (scatter mode), and that is not particular to TC in the slightest, but is valid for any Linux system.

newbody:
Then SvOlli is my hero because his remix that I use now is working very well on NTFS HDD and it do backup so I can save bookmarks on Firefox.

He changed from isolinux boot to grub4dos boot and he included the ntfs-3g so it is already built in.

That way it just works on NTFS.

But I understand. Roberts don't want to support NTFS out of the box and that is okay with me.
He is the Dev of TC so I accept he decide on what to give priority.

Guy:
newbody, I can see 3 options.

1. If you want, you can just keep using the remix, and not install the regular Tiny Core. With that remove local=sda3 from Grub4DOS.

2. I have a notebook which came with 2 ntfs partitions. I reduced the size of one, and put in an Ext3 and a swap partition in the space, and installed Linux. You could do the same.

3. You could install Tiny Core on a usb drive.

What are your thoughts?

newbody:
You are the guy with knowledge so I should shut my big mouth totally shut :)
I am a truly knowboby knowing almost nothing due to my very poor memory and my ADHD making me too impatient to read through instructions so I should not do Linux.

What my thoughts are. Hm

1. I sure will keep the remix, I love it dearly. I became member here 02/07/2010 and and now one year of waiting I found the remix and managed to get it to work. Jay heaven indeed. Finally as we say!

And if I take away the opt what does that change?

2. Nope that is not something I will do at all. I ahve three desktops that I can do it on if I that was the only way to learn TCL but as far as I know what I have now is the same 341 as anybody have only difference is that I boot it up using grub4dos and have NTFS-3g installed from scratch and kmaps also from scratch. Apart from that unless me missed some detail that is the only difference.

So from my humble point of view. Can I not act as any member here and see my install as unusual but as a regular 341 and be able to ask in the main parts of the forum?

Do I really need to mention what I described here? You would know and most likely Roberts would know but none of us need to make a big deal out of it. It is still the standard TCL apart from how I got it going. I have waited a whole year for to be able to use it so why not embrace me with open arm in the main forum parts?

That is my view on it. No I will not thrink and repartition it on my netbook.

3. That is truly possible. I have several such that only lie there unused.
okay that could be a good thing. that would allow me to participate in the main forum would it not?

I still would hope it would be okay as it now too but if that is the only way I am accepted then I do the USB thing. is it okay if it is a Fat16 or 32 usb install so I can use many different os on it?

Thanks indeed for taking time to respond.

Which aspect about such is not clear enough to you by Reply #20?
