Title: does remastering relieve extension expansion labour?
Post by: P5music on November 25, 2010, 08:01:32 AM

Hi,
I would like to ask whether when tinycore is remastered it avoids all that extension loading/mounting/expanding/setting work that it does everytime, as it is in tce-load script.
Thanks

Short answer, depends on how you remaster.

ezremaster can extract extensions directly into the remaster, which avoids all extension loading/mounting.  During the remaster process it will extract the extension dependencies in the correct order and it has a couple of options on how to handle extension startup scripts.   I am not aware of any extensions that don't work using this method.  Look for the "Extract TCZ in to initrd" option in ezremaster.
