I remember you talking about doing this a long time ago, roberts. Nice to see it tome to life. I'll have to remember to play with it after finals are over.
Any chance we could get a list of the included modules, or, even easier, the kernel .config, so I can see if my hardware is supported. If it's not, I'll just drop in one of my (incredibly tiny and optimized for my CPU) kernels.
Thanks.

Excellent. Will examine it after finals are over.

yes,very kewl. just the thing that life is made of. simplicity iin complexity and complexity in simplicity. there is a definition I heard many years ago. Complex means that the components are so complex that it it makes it easy for the operator. Complicated meas just that, complicated for the operator.
ttyl..
jus li'l ol' me

You're forcing me to learn "real" programming with the C++ version of FLTK ...or at least to suffer to confines of fluid.
I just downloaded tiny core and haven't booted yet, so I can't comment yet, but I'd still like to thank you for doing something I'd dreamed of for the last couple of years.

@SaidinUnleashed, I nice to "see" you once again!
Hoping we can all have fun with a tiny core to do with as we please.
Just ask to share, learn and grow.

Hi Mikshaw,
Yes it is true. No lua here. But I only used Fltk/Fluid and the toolchain here. My preferred mode is PPR/TCZ
For an old guy, I really did have fun to convert to Fluid/C++ for all the GUI tools.
With the right compiler options and using shared libraries, you can really get C++/Fltk down to small size. I actually feel, I have more control over the GUI using Fltk/Fluid, plus no restrictions. All the Fluid project files are available for download.

Hi nice to join here. good to see some dsl experts here.
interestingly this is the 2.6 series kernel's smallest distro i suppose.
ofcourse good to see numerous extensions out there too.
more modules such as office, etc could be added in the repo with time.
the forum theme seems cool.
also just to say while registering the forum its better to send a confirmation mail from where activation of user could be done to avoid mock registrations. hope im correct.
looking for the stable release sooner.
and thanks a lot rebert and team for this new initiative. ;D

...great - extensions volunteers already :)

Great job!
I run Tiny Core in Virtualbox and download emelfm, all very quickly and clean.
coming more test soon.
Nice to see you all again!

Very impressive. Everything I have tried so far works like a charm. Congrats and a big THANKS to Roberts and team!! :D ;D :D
-
ofcourse and surprisingly the 10 MB core itself has most of the needed cli tools in unix (with beautiful package manager for tce/tcz and xwindows/jwm also), its jus amazing. i think almost its an new era of linux transformation.....
once again many thanks hope this transformation grows like an exponential curve :)
-
Congrats to Robert and all Teamates involved.
Fantastic job for this first release! :D
Finally installed it on my computer. I am writing this from Tinycore with Opera. It booted really fast and I am now playing with the app browser and some existing TCZ packages, installing GTK, and few apps, etc. It feels like Christmas and I have got a new toy!
Cheers to all

I begin to dowload tcl.... and its necessary to work in Image and communication of TCL ? because st google said that TCL is "Tool Command Language" and is difficult to go to tiny Core Linux...
thanks
-
Tiny Core is abbreviated "tc" instead of "tcl". My own opinion is to absolutely NOT encourage the use of "tcl" for Tiny Core, which would help to prevent problems for the real Tcl as well.
As far as I know, all currently available information about tc is found right here....it's a spankin' new project. There should be no need to google at this point.
EDIT: on the subject of google...i guess you probably mean typing "tcl" in the address bar of your browser, so you an ignore that last sentence.
Yeah, Tool Command Language is a very popular and respectable project, so it's likely always going to be the "tcl" that browsers use.
The first thing I did when bookmarking tinycorelinux.com in Firefox was to add the keyword "tc" to the bookmark properties, so I just type "tc" to come here.
-
From what I have seen, the project has been referred to as "TC"
For (future) searches, using the full project name would probably be better anyways.

Hey Folks!
It is so good to see all of you here. Many of you have been friends-in-linux for years.
Several of you are new to both linux and/or the community. Welcome!
Hats off to roberts for making this all possible. The core lives.

This is weird. I've been lurking DSL for years and now this.
I am excited about it, but it's still weird.
Or maybe it's just me that is weird,.... that could be it....
Anyway, good to 'see' some 'old timers' here.
Regards,
Green.

Congratulations to Robert and the crew for getting this all working. I was shocked to not only get an internet connection by default, but flash9 video with sound. OSS is a gem...I didn't expect it to work, since alsa never worked with my audio card. I'm using a Dell laptop, C600. Web site looks nice, too!
ps. what is the weird " I " in bzimage.gz? I had to rename it for inclusion in Grub.

..good to see another friendly face :)

bzImage is what it gets called by default when you compile the kernel ;)

"tinycore" only needs to be said once per page (and not on every page) to make a difference on google. they are always changing their algorithms and on most search engines, saying "tinycore" and saying "tinycore tinycore tinycore" should be about the same, unless they like being gamed easily.
"tinycore linux" would get incredibly monotonous, both to read and to type. that would also encourage the very "tcl" abbreviation that' we're trying to avoid, so "tinycore" once per page (or whenever it's natural to call it that,) and "tc" in general seems to be the best convention we could demonstrate to other users.
