Can't find menu.lst to edit grub options

I think the answer is to have the entire process explained well in the wiki. Not the theory, but the entire process of how to do it in a way which is easiest for new users.

I think all of us have made contributions in one way or another, and all contributions are beneficial.

I suggest using an even easier way.

Download and use tinycore_3.6rc3. People reading this in the future, should use the latest version. This is the latest version at the time of writing.

Use HD/USB Install. It can be found in the Control Panel.

Yahoo... it worked! If I had only discovered this earlier. Just for the record, here's what I did:

- Boot a tiny core live system from an USB pen drive
- Install the syslinux extension using the apps manager
- Mount the USB pen drive (usually sdb) using the mount tool from the menu
- Open the control panel from the menu
- Click HD/USB install
- Browse to /mnt/sdb1/boot and select the tinycore.gz file
- Follow the instructions

And now everything works, great. Extensions are now saved to my hard disk and remain after a reboot. I didn't have to change any boot command line options, it worked straight away. Thank you very much and thanks to all others who contributed!

Maybe this easy way should be documented in the wiki / official install guide. Because this is where many people will start with, but why bothering with the manual install if there's a convenient tool for it? Note that I'm not saying the manual install guide is faulty, I may as well have been doing something wrong.

Maybe this easy way should be documented in the wiki / official install guide.

The USB/HD Install has been in Tiny Core for some time. However, in Tinycore 3.6rc1, 2 and 3, additional features have been added, making it much more versitile. An improvement has even been made in rc3 which was not in 1 or 2. I have requested yet another improvement, but I am not sure if it will be implemented. So this is very new, and still being improved. These improvements will not be official until Tiny Core 3.6 is released.

When 3.6 is released, I agree, it should be documented in the wiki / official installation guide.

I believe the pages of the other methods of installation should be kept, so people also have those options.

I hope to have time to make a contribution.

There probably needs to be at least 2 pages, one using the installer while connected to the internet, where installing apps is easy, and one using the installer without being connected to the internet, where apps need to be installed manually.

I am not sure if the team wants some of this in the official installation guide.

Keep your eyes on the wiki in the not too distant future for these additions.
