Hi,
Thought that I would install core 3. I used to use an older version.
The guide on : http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html#6_Installing_GRUB
instructs one to do this:
cp -p /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/
Sadly, these files do not exist any more. Seems a little odd since I had to boot somehow from the ISO.
root@box:/# find / | grep grub
root@box:/# df .
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 229508 17408 212100 8% /
Any clues.

there are instuctions in section #1 of the guide to install grub via appbrowser. this should help. ;)

Not odd at all. A look at the CD or mounted .iso would show that isolinux is used as bootloader.
In the same way you say "sadly", I could say "fortunately" as I'd prefer different bootloaders and have never had a need for grub with TC.
I'd guess it's more a matter of free choice of user not to include a specific bootloader in base, when there is a choice between several Linux bootloaders to achieve the same goal.

I did try this at the start, but it cannot find the mirror. This is because I have tell it to use our proxy. Usually, I add this to the environment: export http_proxy=http://our_proxy:9090
Where can I add this for the AppBrowser to pick it up?
