Title: xbase.lst
Post by: wysiwyg on August 14, 2015, 10:50:44 AM

Good morning everyone!  I have been trying to find the answer to this question in the forums and in the TC book, but have been unable to do so.  I know what the purpose of the firstboot, onboot.lst, and xwbar.lst files are for, but I can't seem to find what the xbase.lst file does.  It isn't even mentioned in the TC book.  It also seems to mirror portions of the onboot.lst file so I assume that it deals with packages related to loading X11, but why wouldn't this be pulled from onboot.lst?  I also tried doing a 'grep -H xbase.lst *' within the /usr/bin directory where the tc package loading scripts are located without any results.  Is this file used any longer?  What is its purpose?

Thanks,
Dave

You must be looking at the coreplus iso.
The boot menu offers many choices.
Each boot choice requires loading different extensions so it uses a different boot list via the lst= boot option.
See http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/faq.html#bootcodes

Thanks for the reply gerald_clark!  So it appears that this is not necessary for anything if you're booting normally (e.g. using onboot.lst)...

run 'showbootcodes' to make sure you do not have a lst= bootcode.
