So I downloaded piCore-20121202 and installed it to a SD card as instructed in the README.txt file. I now have a working desktop. :)
I tried to install python following the example in the README.txt file. I type "tce" from the command terminal to start the TCE application. I type "s" to search for "python". I see the following options:
1. python-dev.tcz
2. python-doc.tcz
3. python-git.tcz
4. python-libproxy.tcz
5. python.tcz
I choose "5" and see that it is version "2.7.3", "Binaries only", "Compiled for RPI". I choose "q" to quit and press "i" to install. I get the following output.
Connecting to repo.picorelinux.org (178.48.167.232:80)
wget: short write
sqlite3.tcz: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksums did NOT match
Error on sqlite3.tcz
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I've also tried installing the other four python packages with various errors. Am I selecting the write package? Am I using the right mirror? Maybe I have a problem with my tce-setdrive? When I try to run tce-setdrive again I get this:
Your TCE Drive, /mnt/mmcblk0p1/tce, has already been selected!
I didn't have any problems when setting up my system initially. Maybe there is a problem with the python package? When I try to do this from the Apps program I get the following error trying to browser for the python package.
Error, check network, mirror or writable extension directory.
I think my network is fine because ifconfig give me reasonable ip addresses. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Where is your tce directory?
Python package in repo is working, tested. It is enough to install python.tcz no need for others.
Let me know where is /tce If on the mmcblk0p1 partition installation is wrong. You need an ext3 or ext4 partition created on the remaining unpatitioned area of the SD card with a /tce directory and a 256MB SWAP on the SD. Boot partition (mmcblk0p1) is too small for downloaded extensions and also risky for R/W as it is a FAT type.

Yes, this is the same problem you addressed here (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,15233.msg87984.html#msg87984). Sorry for bringing the same problem up more once. And thanks again for all your help.
