Title: Two questions: kernel source for CorePlus 4.5.3 and updrage to 4.5.3 from 4.4.x
Post by: sgoswami on May 29, 2012, 11:45:08 AM

Hi, I have 2 general questions.

1. Where can I find the the kernel  source (or patch) for CorePlus 4.5.3 ?
2. Is there an upgrade path from 4.4.x to 4.5.3 ( trying to avoid re-installations of tcz packages).

Hi sgoswami
1. That would be 3.0.21, http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/release/src/kernel/

2. It's the usual, replace kernel and initrd, update extensions, check the release notes for changed files likely in backup.

Thanks.  Would it be nice to have a script that does the upgrade (at least between minor releases ) !

It is not possible to tell from where the kernal was loaded.
This makes writing an update script a bit difficult.
