Get APPS with no internet on TC laptop? Load APS on boot from auto-mounted USB?
grandma:
I will try to learn to compile - not sure how - will look for another post and then I could make something similar with the ntfs-3g embedded.
grandma:
found a utility to replace netbootin - sort of
usbdisk allowed me to view the ISO as a hard drive and is free
grandma:
also found a defrag utility that optimized - pushed data to select cylinders so I could repartition with Linux - ultradefrag - also free - but would prefer to learn to partition in Linux

From Windows an all GUI method is:
Use Windows unetbootin to make USB pendrive.
Point it to the tinycore iso. Under options enter quiet
Unetbootin makes bootable pendrive from windows.
Boot up tinycore pendrive, select Apps icon, note at the bottom right corner is a Set button. Select it to automatically setup all required tce directories and files.
Back to Windows, use net to download via url into the pendrive tce/optional directory.
Should only be done for the minimum needed to gain internet access from TC.
Anything downloaded via URL is considered "download only". It will not auto load upon boot. Each dependency must also be URL downloaded. This is only true because you are downloading from a URL (via Windows) and not using Apps(browser) as supplied by TC which automatically resolves all dependencies.
Boot TC this time select AppsAudit and then select OnBoot and/or OnDemand to indicate which apps should load at boot and which will be loaded via menu. You only need to indicate base applications, dependencies will automatically follow. Reboot to effect.
grandma:
onboot seems to be a key - thank you
