Get APPS with no internet on TC laptop? Load APS on boot from auto-mounted USB?

That should be "waitusb=20" and not "usbwait=20"
grandma:
Will try - thank you.
Thus far tried Debian Biz Card, feather, arch, tight kernel that has no VGA output but controls ports to run a rad car stereo from the steering wheel - might come in handy later - and a fat-boy BackTrack 4-R2 - asked a friend to make a CD and will try it later - then there was the Puppy test, and 3 or 4 other small packages - just to see if ANY OF THEM - using Netbootin - worked. Nope.
Knoppix and I are chatting daily.
Flattened the small poker chip 1 gig USB - ran Netbootin against Tinycore.iso - takes a few seconds - ka-poof - bread done - certainly not the 1 - 2 hour event I have spent doing some of these suckers. That part of TC has great promise.
grandma:
Tried Linux Live as it promised a "VIRTUAL BOX" - nope - and Oracle package crashed.
Found a great partition expand/contract - MiniTool Partition - free for windows - to make an EXT2, EXT3 etc. Linux drive right on a C: drive.
Want to do this in Linux after I get this working a bit better.
tinypoodle:
grub is a bootloader, operating system independent.
Default shell when opening a terminal is ash.
grandma:
Tried PLOP sort of worked as dual boot - but not well.
