Title: Military porting
Post by: Lethedethius on November 12, 2010, 01:14:21 PM

I was wondering, I have an old Dell C600 laptop that I tested TCL on last night, and it ran great but the functionality seemed limited from my stand point, will there be any additions such as office suite bundling, browsers, and possibly building a viewer for the military's PureEdge or IBM's Lotus Forms?  maybe having DoD's Common Access Card (CAC) integrated as one of it's features?  I think that would be a BIG plus especially for me...  I have several ideas but no idea how to do it :(

Use the AppBrowser to browse the available applications.

I haven't observed such a broad choice of browsers (versions) with any other distro...
Just saying...

Well I was referring to having say Fire Fox installed already, what is that, another 2MB? as an option...

Start at tinycorelinux.com.
Read the documentation, then read the wiki.
There is plenty of documentation on how to install persistent applications,
and how to remaster the CD.

Umm, more like 20 MB, rather than 2 (19.64 MB incl. deps).
That is when loop mounted, so if was included in initrd would be much bigger in size.
