Title: boot server at a later time
Post by: casey on November 04, 2013, 09:47:11 AM

hello guys

I downloaded TinyCore_current.iso (14mb)

and I added the text "cde" in the "append" line below the MENU LABEL Boot Core (command line only) in the file isolinux.cfg,
so that the extensions are loaded ntfs-3g.tcz, and kmaps.tcz that I added to the file onboot.lst

now the extensions are loaded, but why start directly server X and not the command line?

is possible to start before the command line, and then start the server X only when needed via the command startx?

As stated previously, use the 'text' boot option.

at boot shows:
Core is distributed with ABSOLUTUTELY NO WARRANTY
and soon after I get prompt tc@box:/$

I have already removed this written from the file boot.msg and f1.
you can also remove it from the boot?

Code: [Select]

grep -r WARRANTY /etcwould show you.

However, in case of allowing any third party access to such a remaster, I would think twice about the potential legal implications of removing a disclaimer.

use boot option "secure "
from tinycorelinux.net/faq.html (http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html)

 

Quote

Tiny Core accepts the following additional boot time options:
...
 tinycore secure                     Set password

and @ wiki (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/?do=search&id=password&button=)
wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:passwd (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:passwd?s=password)
wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:security (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:security?s=password)

thanks for the info

I added to line append the parameter vga=extended to have the command line in text mode 80x50

without adding vga=extended in the append line, it would be possible via a command from the command line switch from (80x25 to 80x50) and from (80x50 to 80x25)?

"svgatextmode" but I think it's rather dated, and not sure how well it would work with current software and hardware.
