Title: adding operation booting tinycore
Post by: candinico on July 18, 2013, 04:06:33 AM

Hi,
I need to add a particular operation booting tinycore: after a loss of data of my application (I'm using tiny flashed on a ebox745, an GEODE AMD processor with 256k of RAM), i need to perform a e2fsck. Have any siggestions? I read that tiny dont'have run levels. It's true?

Thanks in advance

Nico

TC doesn't run fsck during boot.

When you boot the base CLI system with base norestore options everyting runs from RAM and no any disk partition mounted, so you can run fsck.

For this purpose, you need to change TinyCore's ramfs. See here for an example:

This example is for having several modular .lst files (list of software to load at boot) instead of a single onboot.lst file.
