Final Releases / Re: Tiny Core v17.0

« Last post by Rich on February 16, 2026, 09:57:07 AM »

Hi Stefann

... You can replace core.gz and vmlinuz to update, ...

In addition, you will need to replace any kernel module extensions you
are using, for example:

Code: [Select]

alsa-modules-KERNEL.tcz
filesystems-KERNEL.tcz
graphics-KERNEL.tcz
i2c-KERNEL.tcz
wireless-KERNEL.tcz
etc
Where the  KERNEL  part looks something like  6.12.11-tinycore.

A better plan would be to create a new tce directory as Juanito
suggested and download new copies of all of your extensions
from the TC17 repo.

You can simplify the process if you  cd  to the tce/optional/
directory you want to clone.
Then:

Code: [Select]

ls -1 *.tcz > Ext.lstThat's a  dash one  after  ls.
Move the  Ext.lst file to your new  tce/optional/  directory.

Grab a copy of the latest  FetchExt.sh  script from here:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23034.msg178902.html#msg178902
Place it in your new  tce/optional/  directory and make it executable.
Read the  Define Variables  section of the script, or run:

Code: [Select]

./FetchExt.sh -h
For  Intel  type processors run this:

Code: [Select]

KString="\-[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+-tinycore.*.tcz"
sed -i -E 's|'$KString'|-KERNEL.tcz|g' Ext.lst
For  Arm  type processors run this:

Code: [Select]

KString="\-[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+-piCore.*.tcz"
sed -i -E 's|'$KString'|-KERNEL.tcz|g' Ext.lst
Then run:

Code: [Select]

for F in $(cat Ext.lst); do ./FetchExt.sh "$F"; doneThat should populate your new  tce/optional/  directory with new
versions of all of your extensions.

I can confirm the same with CorePure64-17.0.iso

I wrote my USB key with BalenaEtcher.
I try to boot on an Asus T100 Transformer. Secure boot is disabled. When booting, the boot menu doesn't display the USB drive.
And if I do the same with an ISO of Haiku, the drive is selectable in the boot menu.

core.gz = rootfs.gz + modules.gz

You can replace core.gz and vmlinuz to update, but I would recommend using a different tce folder so that you don't have problems with old extensions that are no longer compatible.

No reactions after a week.
Just want to say: super thanks!
This week is quite busy, no time for updates.
Next week I will update my hp510 thin client with Via Eden dual core 1G 64bit processor.
If that is succesfull my ultra low power Via Eden 500MHz single core 32bit system will follow.
The latter is running my home control system so I need to be a bit careful. The first I use as staging system.

Having said that…
What is best way to upgrade?
Do I need to make a new usb installer and start from scratch?

Last time I just copied core.gz and vmlinuz. That would however not do anything with modules.gz.
I actually also donot know what modules.gz is good for.

I’m running tinycore in frugal mode booting from internal compact flashdrive.
