Title: Monster Sized Tiny Core Please!!
Post by: hendrik9 on August 21, 2009, 07:40:52 PM

I am in love with Tiny Core. Just one idea. Is it possible to get a complete ISO of all the TCZ files compiled so it can be copied to a big flash drive with unetbootin or something like that.

For those with slower download speeds won't this be the perfect solution? You get it all down once. Anything you want to use is available and will be loaded into ram when requested but after a reboot your system is clean and back to the core, no system rot, no download delays and everything on hand. UTOPIA!

I can not do this myself, but is there a possibility for this?

Does anyone agree?

1 - donwload the extensions you want once.

if you want to download the whole repository in it, maybe you could use
wget (not tested): wget -mk -np http://istro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz

2 - make them available locally (this is fairly well documented).

You could either:

• put the extensions in the optional/ directory in your ppr
• or, integrate them in the iso: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/tiki-index.php?page=Integrating_extensions
• or, run your own app server on your lan:  http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/tiki-index.php?page=Local_appbrowser_server

After this, use the appbrowser (or the tce-* commands) to load your local extension on demand
