The dCore wiki is being updated, both format and new content. Feel free to add content or let me know if there are items that should be addressed. Still a work in progress, couple noteworthy items:
1. The installation section does not yet have a full install example with just the dCore*.iso and an empty drive (only from existing Linux installs using a pre-installed bootloader). Hope to add this content next couple weeks. If someone already has a step-by-step list, let me know.
2. Forum member LichenSymbiont previously posted a link of his 'automatic installation script'. This section of the wiki is now entitled 'Unofficial dCore Scripts', meaning Jason does not need to provide support. Users feel free to add additional scripts or script links you feel may benefit other dCore users - be prepared to provide support if necessary: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:scripts. If the general consensus is that unnofficial script/links should not be added to the dCore wiki, that's okay too, just let me know and i will revise/delete.
-
Thanks. I think dCore should have a section for contributed scripts. Perhaps I should put up a 'programming and scripting' section here like there is in the Core section. I am good with either the wiki or a p&s area, I would like to hear input and see what the thoughts are on it.
-
Well for now the wiki only has one user-contributed script but hopefully that will change over time. Personally like the idea of having this section in the wiki. A dCore subforum for scripters would be nice too but probably wouldn't see much activity at this time.
-
Thanks for your continuous efforts with making the wiki really shine, Nitram! The ISO-installation has been on my list for a long time but I won't be able to get to it anytime soon. Step-by-step instructions would be tremendously useful for newcomers.
My 0.02$ on the specific topic: I would prefer having scripts in a finalized version available through the wiki rather than having to browse through forum posts containing different beta versions. For the time being, the discussion can well take place in the general forum.
Cheers everybody!

Some good points made and I agree with them.

That sounds excellent!
I feel so damn bad for not making a working installation script now... but at least I made it, and had it published, in a simple open source format where anyone can contribute... so I shouldn't feel too bad.
But I have more interesting things in the pipes, so a section for or forum-topic at least, for dCore scripts, source code and packages would be nice.
And you have my blessing for continuing work on the wiki as well Nitram! Make a section for that as well Nitram ^^, where you write down "Contributors to the wiki are officially blessed by LichenSymbiont and sm8ps" or whatever, hehe.
Though I'm not so arrogant as to think my means anything, but it's nice to know you have someone with you. Though that may be presumptious even, just insulting your intelligence, as you know exactly what the hell you are doing.
And also I'm not the guy you'd ask if you wanted to install Arch from scratch or whatever, I don't know Linux that well on the low level -- as I don't think I need to, or will ever need to. As I think there should really be a solid installation script. But I can write clean and nicely structured scripts. So I welcome messy contributions that I can just clean up.
Hmm... and that's mostly the reason, really, that it didn't get completed, I just tried to learn the Arch install scripts, and thought I could just magically boil it down. But those scripts are quite huge, and I just didn't have the patience for it.
Anyways, keep on working for the best dCore possible everyone! :)

Just completed a detailed step by step manual installation guide:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:installation_from_iso_without_boot_loader
dCore Install From ISO to Hard Drive Without Existing Boot Loader
A manual persistent dCore base installation from ISO to hard drive without a pre-existing boot loader using primarily built-in tools to partition drive, prepare file systems, copy over dCore files and install Grub legacy boot loader. This will install a stand-alone dCore system without the need for an installer or pre-existing Linux system:
Tried using dCore-install but couldn't get it working, failed to find the dCore-wily files despite providing the correct pathway. Maybe i was just using it wrong, didn't troubleshoot. At first glance it may be searching for generic initrd and kernel names, not dCore specific like dCore-wily.gz. May try to troubleshoot later unless someone else has energy. Would be nice to have a wiki installation example using an actual installer.
Also if anyone can share configuration notes and a brief how to for boot loaders other than Grub legacy and Grub2 let me know. Personally would like to learn yet another boot loader but really also to help round out the dCore installation wiki. Please post to wiki or give me your notes and i will upload and format, thanks.
-
I have been meaning to get to dCore-install, but have not had time. I will aim to fix it to where one can use full names, either specify or pick from a list. Of course, if anyone wants to have a go at updating it to work with current dCore-*.gz names and sending it in it would be much appreciated.

In the wiki I have some bits about Syslinux:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:usb_installation_test-drive
They are mostly complete but need to be put together the right way.
On my USB-installation the following works:
ui menu.c32
default dCore
timeout 45
label dCore
menu label dCore on a stick
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-trusty
append initrd=/boot/ub-dCore-trusty.gz waitusb=15 blacklist=pcspkr tce=LABEL="dCORE-USB" home=LABEL="dCORE-USB" opt=LABEL="dCORE-USB" host=dCstick lang="de_CH.UTF-8" desktop=openbox tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 multivt syslog showapps pauseObviously, 'ldlinux.sys' and 'menu.c32' must be available under '/boot/'.
IMHO Syslinux is a great boot-loader for its simplicity and modularity, quite similar to Grub Legacy. So it would fit in very well.
-
The desktop param isn't needed since it's handled by the WM deb2sce.
I thought that home on a usb stick reduces the stick life considerably. Am I wrong? Maybe on recent usb it' not true?
Thanks
-
Thanks for the syslinux informaton sm8ps, will eventually get this into the install wiki.
Did some WM testing jls and for now will keep the desktop boot code instructions. Maybe other WM behave differently, but IceWM for example didn't work without the boot code. Example from my dCore-wily system:
- Was using flwm, sceboot.lst and /etc/sysconfig/desktop contained flwm, booted fine.
- Wanted to change to IceWM, sce-import -b icewm, removed flwm from sceboot.lst, ensured Grub did not use a desktop boot code, system only booted to CLI, 'startx' didn't work, /etc/sysconfig/desktop file disappeared! From tty, entered 'desktop=icewm' then 'startx', still failed. Had to manually create /etc/sysconfig/desktop file containing 'icewm' then 'startx' finally worked.
As above maybe some WM are set up better for this but for now i think the extra instruction step is useful to ensure new users get a properly running system with minimal frustration. FWIW the desktop boot code is also mentioned in Jason's official WM READMEs: http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/.
Regarding USB degradation, rarely use USB so can't comment. The test drive on a USB stick article (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:usb_installation_test-drive) was written by sm8ps, he will need to clarify. The article is, however, titled 'test drive', to me implies a simple and temporary test install to give users an easy opportunity to try dCore without affecting their regular installs/drives. The article also has a section on using the -r(am) option to import extensions. May be good to include a USB wear disclaimer, will await sm8ps feedback.
-
icewm should work "out of the box" as you can see on the deb2sce:
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/import/icewm.deb2sce
(http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/import/icewm.deb2sce)
persistent home needs a linux formatted partition, which doen't exists normally when you buy a pendrive
-
Thanks for your input, Jls! In fact, I use the boot-code "desktop" for having Openbox load first; then I run LXDE on top of it as described in the wiki article "Migrating from FLWM to LXDE (dCore-trusty example)":
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:migrating_from_flwm_to_lxde#boot-code_desktop
I have not tried if this works without the boot-code but I had not been aware of the mechanism in the deb2sce-script of the window manager. Will keep this in mind and eventually try.
I have been using USB-sticks with live-systems (always with persistent home) quite intensely for many years. Though I have not noticed any of the effects described in the early days. I did some research and remember reading that the controllers in modern USB-sticks nowadays apply better wear-leveling strategies.
I have seen several USB-sticks fail but only one of them was used as a live-system. In recent years I have always used Micro SD-cards with USB-adapters and I have seen several of the adapters(!) fail but the cards were still usable. So I would call the wear on USB-sticks a non-issue anymore.
-
A Syslinux page was created sm8ps with your information, please review and modify as desired: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:dcore_and_syslinux. A dCore screenshot section was also created, dCore users feel free to contribute: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:screenshots.
-
Screenshots of all supported WM/DEs uploaded to the official screenshot page (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:screenshots). Xfce4 runs great BTW. The only two outstanding are LXDE (active bug report) and Gnome. Hopefully LXDE will be added shortly.
If someone has the horsepower to load Gnome and post an official screenshot, much appreciated. Gnome does not yet have an offical README (http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/). Whoever gets it running please submit a README to Jason. There are ~3 other WM READMEs missing, i will submit those later this week.
No door crashers for user contributed screenshots and scripts, if someone would like to submit that would be great, thanks.
-
The X Window System page was revamped: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:x-desktop. New section Unofficial Window Managers and Desktop Environments for anyone who wants to post their installation findings and/or link a screenshot. Without much effort DWM, i3 and FVWM worked fine on dCore-wily :)
-
Several wiki sections updated and expanded. To track select left-lower Recent Changes link. Please notify regarding errors, omissions, deadlinks, new ideas. Most recent work has been on dCore SCE Overview, dCore X Window System and dCore Screenshots. Thanks Onyarian for your wiki contribution :)
Highlights:
* Panels and Launchers sections added to dCore Desktop Applications.
* flash10.sce creation script added to Unofficial dCore Scripts.
* dmenu blurb added to dCore X Window System, easy access System Tools/OnDemand on unsupported WM/DE.
* Screenshots for all supported WM/DE uploaded.
* Screenshots for several unsupported WM/DE uploaded.
* No takers for Gnome and it has no official README so moved to unofficial for now. IIRC Jason indicated it works in wheezy, maybe jessie, probably not ubuntus, so it's days on a *Core system maybe numbered without a lot of maintenance.
* Created seperate unofficial WM and DE lists.
* Have yet to find a tiling WM that doesn't work, added dwm and i3 to unofficial WM, including boot code and instructions.
* Added FVWM and Window Maker to unoffical WM, including boot codes and instructions.
* Added FVWM-Crystal and MATE to unofficial DE, including boot codes and instructions. MATE-core on dCore is sweet even with 384 MB RAM. If anyone wants to run *Core with a DE, dCore Xfce and dCore MATE are slick. May submit formal README to move MATE to official.
Any and all contributions welcome, areas severely lacking:
* dCore System Software > printing
* dCore System Software > scanning
* dCore Server Applications > create new networking section (eg samba, nfs, ssh)
Thanks.
-
Thanks to you all for your great work in the wiki! :-)
-
No problem, slowly keeping at it.
Two printers and a PSU recently died, printer only 17 years old. No printer or scanner stuff will be added in immediate future unless someone can upload or provide Jason with README. Soldering capacitors in PSU is pretty easy, just be careful.
dCore Server Applications section:
Renamed to dCore Server and Networking
NTFS section added
-
dCore Server and Networking -> smbclient guide added
* Command line access to modem router's shared USB storage
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:server_applications?&#smbclient
-
dCore Base Installation->dCore Swap primer added:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:swap_partition_or_file
Thank-you Misalf and Rich for your valuable forum contributions.
-
hello
import needs more ram only if the -r option is used.
thanks
PS wiki is missing sce2gz
-
Thanks for the feedback jls. Likely 'low RAM' system is relative, to me it's < 512 MB to someone else maybe <4 GB. So a 4 GB system may not notice the difference, my system does. To confirm performed large import and monitored Conky, not performing any other tasks, did not use RAM option, sceconfig RAM=FALSE.
Shortly after boot ran sudo cache-clear, using ~30% RAM, imported libreoffice-gnome (298 total packages). RAM use steadily crept upwards, reached >90% RAM before merging the first 100 packages, started swapping just over 100 packages, upon completion of import 14 MB swap used.
Thanks for the sce2gz reminder, will try to take a look at it someday soon.
-
Thanks sm8ps for your recent forum contribution, come back when time permits :)
Several items added to dCore Desktop Applications last couple months, most recent Perl Audio Converter. The Music and Media Players section was revised to simply Multimedia to capture this additional software: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications. Please add more items, especially those requiring configuration or tweaking to get running, thanks.
The dCore SCE Overview section was recently overhauled and expanded:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:handling_extensions
-
SoX added to desktop applications: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications#sox
Command --help for following slightly revised, now updated in wiki:
sce-import
sce-remove
sce-update
Old sce2gz replaced by sce-sce2gz now has --help, Jason added to sce-searchprebuilt, and it is now added to wiki:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:extensions?&#dcore_sce_management_commands
As mentioned in another thread, Java, Flash and Chrome installer scripts don't matter much to me in regards to naming as they are 3rd party. For consistency though most SCE management commands are now sce-*, possible last exception ppa-add. Should ppa-add be renamed sce-ppa-add ?
-
Thanks jls_legalize for your wiki contribution.
dCore Desktop Applications: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications

Any thoughts on renaming ppa-add to sce-ppa-add ?
-
Hi
could you please add terminology and remove efm? Efm is pary of enlightenment
thanks
-
Hi jls.
Terminology added to dCore Desktop Applications -> Terminal Emulators: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications#terminal_emulators
The EFM entry indicates it's part of the Enlightenment Window Manager, so not to be misleading. The Enlightenment Window Manager is also documented in the wiki as being an officially supported Window Manager. To me it's a unique file manager, part of an officially supported WM, available to dCore users and should be listed. As a forum member you are welcome to delete the entry if you wish but i don't understand why?
Official WM and DE:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:x-desktop#dcore_window_managers_and_desktop_environments
EFM:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications#enlightenment_file_manager
-
Just wanted to say how great it is to see that the wiki is constantly evolving. After a good while of absence it serves as a highly valuable source of information.
Thanks to everybody, especially nitram! Let's keep it up everybody!
Cheers!

Hi sm8ps, thanks for the encouragement, come visit more often.
Recent wiki updates:
dCore Desktop Applications
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications
-added Audacity audio editor and runtime note
-removed Iceweasel (deprecated)
-updated Midori, added README link
-updated emelFM and emelFM2
-updated Enlightenment File Manager (thanks jls_legalize)
-updated Terminology and link (thanks jls_legalize)
-created Games section, added Ace of Penguins, FLTK Games, Rogue
-created Compile Tools section, added build-essential
dCore X Window System
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:x-desktop
-updated Enlightenment link (thanks jls_legalize)
Audacity was a pleasant surprise, minimal configuration change required to get it running nice. If anyone wants to help, there are unfinished items earlier in this thread that could use attention. For example, installing a scanner and printer notes. Also, if anyone has experience running Wine, PlayOnLinux or setting up more modern games let me know. Thanks.
[edit]: Actually there are lots of things that need doing. To take some of the workload off Jason i was thinking of keeping a running To do list somewhere in the wiki or maybe append on this thread. That way any dCore users wanting to contribute can tackle a project, update wiki or PM me some notes, send some code to Jason, etc. Another item not mentioned above is getting the dCore installer running properly (dCore-install), there was an earlier thread on this somewhere.

I noticed a bug in syslinux -booting code which prevents making reusable bootable USB-stick. I tried to fix it but syslinux real-mode code is extremely difficult to understand and fix (despite pretty good documentation as linux-code).
Is that working now?
-
Hi Yleisajattelija. Are you referring to a specific wiki document or should this have been posted as a new dCore help request? Specifically, is what working now? Are you referring to dCore-usbinstall? Personally i am not very familiar with Syslinux so someone else will need to address, sorry.
Recent wiki updates:
dCore sce-ppa-add Command:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:ppa-add_command

dCore Desktop Applications:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications?&#dcore_desktop_applications
Numerous browsers tested and added. So far i think every browser tested has worked in dCore without much issue. Jason recently added ca-certificates to those requiring. Some WebKit based browsers (Midori and QupZilla) require a workaround to run JavaScript on older SSE only (non-SSE2) hardware, will start new thread about best way to set this up in dCore.

Would be nice to add home grown fifth but i don't see an easy way without custom compile. No PPA, webkitfltk does not appear available in Debian/Ubuntu repo. If anyone wants to custom compile and submit to Jason for the dCore prebuilt repository that might be really nice...or it just stays Tiny Core exclusive...nice too.
-
Request somebody package it for Debian/Ubuntu via their respective channels, or create a PPA. Several people have requested a PPA, but that needs both time and someone familiar with Ubuntu packaging, I have neither.
You can also use the prebuilt package from sourceforge, if you're on 64-bit.
-
Also if anyone can share configuration notes and a brief how to for boot loaders other than Grub legacy and Grub2 let me know. Personally would like to learn yet another boot loader but really also to help round out the dCore installation wiki. Please post to wiki or give me your notes and i will upload and format, thanks.
In the wiki I have some bits about Syslinux:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:usb_installation_test-drive
They are mostly complete but need to be put together the right way.
On my USB-installation the following works:
ui menu.c32

append initrd=/boot/ub-dCore-trusty.gz waitusb=15 blacklist=pcspkr tce=LABEL="dCORE-USB" home=LABEL="dCORE-USB" opt=LABEL="dCORE-USB" host=dCstick lang="de_CH.UTF-8" desktop=openbox tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 multivt syslog showapps pauseObviously, 'ldlinux.sys' and 'menu.c32' must be available under '/boot/'.
IMHO Syslinux is a great boot-loader for its simplicity and modularity, quite similar to Grub Legacy. So it would fit in very well.
I mean this message, is istallation from USB-stick stable?
Edit: Syslinux ver. 6.03 bugfix-release seems to have some USB-related issues solved, I will test...

Thanks for the feedback, the FAQ entry was modified, hope more accurate:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:faq#what_hardware_is_supported
-
As for the armv7 port, I right now am lacking hardware to update it. I do plan to back into supporting it when I can get the hardware. After all, dCore's original purpose was an Allwinner A10 offering of Tinycore.

Advanced dCore SCE Strategies -> Creating Personal Extensions
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:extension_strategies#creating_personal_extensions
-new Creating Personal Extensions section
The Advanced dCore SCE Strategies page is messy and under construction, hopefully future revision. The new Creating Personal Extensions section based on response to http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20496.msg127872.html#msg127872. As noted in the wiki entry, if converting a Tiny Core *.tcz extension to an *.sce, ensure any necessary dependencies are loaded. Although not much manual interaction is typically needed in the TCE directory, *Core begs to be hacked...at user's own risk.

dCore Desktop Applications
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications
-Modifed PCManFM, run full featured in minimal install
-Added Project: Starfighter
-Renamed Text Editors, now Text Editors & Office Suites

http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:dcore_openoffice_guide
-new dCore OpenOffice Installation Guide
Careful Starfighter is addictive. Although not tested, anticipate StarOffice legacy and OpenOffice would also run well in Tiny Core. There are now 3 major office suites that work in dCore. The only other major office suite i know is Kingsoft WPS Office for Linux, they provide a .deb file download if anyone's interested: http://wps-community.org/downloads. Probably not my thing but if it's important to someone i could try to help get it running, just let me know. Thanks.

dCore Install from ISO to Hard Drive Without Pre-Existing Boot Loader: over-haul
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:installation_from_iso_without_boot_loader
- Rename files from ISO-build to match regular naming scheme as per thread Add boot-code "base" to ISO-build (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20630.0.html).
- Switched example from Wily to Xenial while following along.
- Added alternative partition scheme that does not wipe full disk but instead adds one single partition.
- Added Extlinux with mention of possibility to chain-load other OS.
- Quite some cosmetics - hope you don't mind! :)
Truly a great source of information our wiki has become, hasn't it? Thanks Nitram!
