Title: Download TC bootable files, not ISO
Post by: diego1988 on December 12, 2011, 12:03:22 PM
 I don't have a computer to download an ISO and them make a bootable flash drive, so were I can find the files, alredy extracted, so I can just copy them to my USB flash drive and make it run on a pc?

 P .S.: I will use a PS3 to copy thouse files to my flash drive.

--- Hope somone can help.

That'd be release/distribution_files under any mirror.

 Ok, but as write, I'm using a PS3 to do that , so I will don't have a program to extract the .gz files.
What I'm asking is to download the files alredy extracted -  thouse who are mad on the flash drive whem you use  Unetbooting, for exemple.

You don't.
There are only 2 files to the base, the kernel ( vmlinuz ) , and an initrd ( tinycore.gz ).
Edit your bootloader config file to load these 2 files.

Please spend some time in the wiki.

Hi diego1988
Check out this link:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/guide (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/guide)
See where it says Custom in the screenshot. It lets you specify the kernel, initrd, and any command
line parameters you need.
