3 there are two tce-unload-scripts described in the forum. one of them i've tested extensively and it works.

5 bashburn offers a ncurses-gui with lots of functionality and features

4  See http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7243.0.html (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7243.0.html) for a script (albeit maybe a little old)

6  Sorry, that question is out of range - you said "five small questions".   ;)

#6 seemed not so small to me, too.

There is some reiserfs support in filesystems-3.0.3-tiycore.tcz but I don't know what version and don't know about adding it to the kernel.

the reiserfs  standard is version 3 or 3.x the version 4 support is not for many linux's

3 there are two tce-unload-scripts described in the forum. one of them i've tested extensively and it works.

5 bashburn offers a ncurses-gui with lots of functionality and features
and how to run this bashburn in GUI mode

What about  reiserfsprogs.tcz  ?

perhaps an opportunity for an update?

Just curious why someone need Reiserfs in 2012?

HI:
one reason I think is that REISER is non journaling and best for using with
TCL on SD cards and USB sticks.
I like to use PCI to SD card adapters to run TCL in a SD card plugged into the IDE1 slot.
Is there a way to switch ext4 into a non journaling mode?

Use Ext2

Not true. ReiserFs is a journaling file system. It was the main advantage using it in the past and the main reason why for example SuSe used as a default file system but dropped when ext3 become stable.

Now with .ext3 and .ext4 lost its importance.

Why quote an answer instead of the question? 

Meanwhile I can't see a good reason for building a system with it, but there are systems which still use reiser fs , I think I even have a couple of systems which have been built with it, been running 24/7 for years.

the reason to use reiserFS is
 for example when decompressing linux source code
  in to ext3 partition it takes 62 seconds
  in to reiserFS partition it takes 43 seconds

and find no reiser4 support rescue type linuxs smaller then 128MB

It's because reiser4 is not a part of the upstream kernel.

Applying a patch is not any different in TC than in other distros, so you'd need a reiser4 patch for linux 3.0.

so do you know wher to get this Reiser4 path
and if compiling why not to use newest stable kernel src 3.2.5
can it be som problems with TC patch's and adding them to kernel src 3.2.5
is other src compilation require for ex. sound work [src for OSS modules] or anything else

No.

It would likely work fine. You would need the tmpfs-root patch, or to use the noembed boot code with an unpatched kernel.

OSS is outside the kernel, yes, so you'd need to build it too if you build your own kernel.
