bootcodes

[vinceASPECT]

Hello

how do i put a bootcode into the config files at desktop level to that it executes
when TV is booting.

tinycore waitusb-10   (is the bootcode)

how do i edit my config files to contain the above bootcode so that the bootcode
does not need to be typed in each time TC boots up.

thanks

VInce.

The bootcode is waitusb=10

You can use the text editor included with tc, which is named "editor".

Open a terminal window, start it with "sudo editor &" and navigate to your boot loader config file to edit it.

Which boot loader are you using?

hello,

don't know which bootloader it is.

It is TC version 3.6

Did you boot from cd, install to hard disk, install to usb stick, or?

When you boot do you see anything like "grub", "syslinux", "isolinux", "extlinux"?

boot from CD....and the USB pen is saving my operating systems state and applications...

Hmm - it's a long, long time since I booted from cd.

Apart from remastering a cd, I don't recall that you can alter the boot codes or save additional boot codes to be added on booting from cd.

Have you considered installing tc to your usb stick - it's easy enough to do with the new gui installer in the control panel.

ok i will install it to the hard drive.

Do i just create a folder on the harddrive called  "tce/"

that's it?

thanks

i have the GUI for doing a hard drive install.

how do i use the gui.

It asks me which version of TC....i choose  Tinycore and it opens a file dialogue

do i point it to the CD disc?

then do i select FRUGAL install?

thanks

Vince.

[Juanito]

do i point it to the CD disc?

Yes, navigate to /boot and choose tinycore.gz

then do i select FRUGAL install?

Yes

[vinceASPECT]

ok thanks very much

Vince.
