Title: Minimalist kernel config for running Tinycore
Post by: binär on November 15, 2018, 05:31:55 AM

Hi all,
I´ve found some obsolete bits of documentation here and there about remix-ing a kernel for TC, but I´m looking for an in-depth documentation detailing which kernel configuration and modules are needed to properly boot the TinyCore OS.

Like Ram compression (Y) or (M)
and so ...

Any link ?

Hi binär
As far as I know, the closest thing would be the current config file.
For 32 bit:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-4.14.10-tinycore
or for 64 bit:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-4.14.10-tinycore64
or for ARM6:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/releases/RPi/src/kernel/4.9.22-piCore.config.xz
or for ARM7:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv7/releases/RPi/src/kernel/4.9.22-piCore-v7.config.xz
If you are looking to remix the kernel, you should use one of those config files as a starting point anyway.
