Hi johnsmitho
Welcome to the forum.

... and install CorePlus to pi 4b as ...
CorePlus is for 32 bit Intel processors and will not run on pi.
Current test releases for pi can be found here:
32 bit http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/armhf/test_releases/RPi/
64 bit http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/aarch64/test_releases/RPi/

Hi Rich, Thank you for the link for pi.
unfortunately trying 2 days, I can't make it to work as headless setup after putting it to the sd card. can't ssh into the pi (4b) connected with ethernet.
Can you please share a completed guide how to set up with pi4 please. Thank you again in advance.

The philosophy of Tiny core that is it's tiny and you add the components your self.
Like openssh or dropbear so you can ssh to it and you can load these packages with the tce-load command. And dont't forget to take a backup of your running config, with filetool command.
You can also edit the inittab to support for serial tty via uart. It's little more tricky because you need to change the initrd.

And you also need to save the keys when installing openssh or dropbear, this can be done with filetool.

And this forum is here for you and help, but you have to try out little before asking, we can't share a completed guide how to setup the way you want.

The first setup with tc or picore has to be with a head, when you get a gist of how tc works you can change the behavier so the setup can maybe be done without head.

The piCore images come with openssh installed and started by default.

The zip file you download has to be unzipped.  You cannot just burn the zip file with rpi-imager.

Yes. I actually tried both way to install tc on the sd card (rpi-imager and dd )
still no luck. but choosing image from rpi-imager works everytime.

I would recommend you verify what is going On with a keyboard and monitor.  Once you know what is going on, then go headless.
