Title: Can't install TC because of that ...
Post by: Filisko on February 14, 2014, 04:08:56 PM: Hello, today I tried to install Tinycore, when I boot it, appears a black screen with a ... 24x24 cross with white borders at the center, why is that?

Thanks!

Did you include a window manager?
Boot with the 'text' boot option and show the contents of your onboot.lst.

Then you can boot and run the installer.

Post by: Filisko on February 14, 2014, 04:51:04 PM: What "dd" means? I've used universal usb installer to put it on my usb.

I see the boot menu, but after select the first one (not the command line one) loads something with text line "DONE" and all this things in green and yellow, and after that appears the cross.

Post by: gerald_clark on February 14, 2014, 05:02:26 PM: That is not supported.
Use a CD drive or raw copy the iso to a thumb drive so you can boot and run the installer.

There is a section on ijnstalling to thumb drives here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#pendrives
There is a link to core2usb included there, which is a Windows based installation utility.

Post by: Filisko on February 15, 2014, 05:08:58 AM: I burned two CD's, one with CorePlus and another one with TinyCore, after that, I used core2usb to put the TinyCore on my USB, and the same thing appears:

tc@box:~$

What I can do from there? :S

Post by: Juanito on February 15, 2014, 07:02:35 AM: If I understand correctly, you've booted from a usb stick and arrived at the console prompt.

If this is the case and you have a wired network connection, you can now download the extensions required to obtain a gui - for example:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -iw Xorg-7.7 Xprogs flwm aterm $ startx
