I installed tiny core and it will not boot it says file not found. What is wrong. I installed it on my hard drive in boot file.
-
Could you supply a few more details of what you did to install tinycore and what error messages you receive when tinycore will not boot.
Did you follow the installation instructions in the wiki?

I had similar problem and I could have sworn I'd done it properly (a good few times) until I noticed a very small error when making the menu.lst file with vi. I kept entering on the 4th line 'kernel /boot/bzimage quiet' incorrectly,it shoud be 'kernel /boot/bzImage quiet' the difference being 'Image' in 'bzImage' has a capital 'I' not lower case as I had been doing it.Problem fixed!
-
i followed wiki instructions and used uppercase when putting in line about bzImage in menu.lst
I keep getting number 15 file not found
Please help. I want to run tiny core.

linuxmom-
Assuming you are using grub, can you state which partition you are booting from and post your menu.lst file?

Hi
you can change your bios boot order to always boot optical drive before hard drive....and when needed insert your TC cd.
do so now and let the cd boot up when loaded open a terminal and run
sudo find / -name menu.lst
note its lst short for LIST and not 1st short for first
the response should be something like
/mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst (or hda1 maybe sda1 sda2 hda2 etc)
2) When you originally followed the wiki....to install grub....the image shows the last line of output.....succeeded.
You can always redo grub....by download and load and running those grub commands again.
In particular we need /mnt/somewhere/boot/ bzImage and tinycore.gz and grub folder populated with the stage files and a brand new menu.lst
