And run filetool to store picore state, so if you reboot all settings and stored files will be restored.
You can read about how TC works in the TC Book.

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -bv
TC Core Book

Code: [Select]

Thanks, I've been working my way through the book although much of the install is based on the GUI which you don't get with the Raspberry pi install.

filetool.sh didn't help with the wifi though.

Hi piran

... and what packages I need to get a gui going.

Once you have an Internet connection, you can:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi Xorg flwm_topside wbar aterm
startx

Thank you, worked a treat

Windows/WSL?

Sorry, I have no clue what that is.
Can you transfer files ?
Is it a virtual machine ?
If it is, why won't it use the host's network setting ?

Anyway, you'll need to many more files, listed in the tree file.
http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/tcz/wifi.tcz.tree

You'll also need the wifi firmware, which you'll have to look up for yourself.
For example, my old laptop use firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
So I'll do this

Code: [Select]

wget http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/tcz/wifi.tcz.tree
for F in $(cat wifi.tcz.tree) firmware-iwlwifi.tcz; do
  wget http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/tcz/${F}
  wget http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/tcz/${F}.dep
  wget http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86/tcz/${F}.md5.txt
done
mv *.tcz *.dep *.md5.txt /path/to/my/tce/optional

Then append my onboot.lst

Code: [Select]

echo firmware-iwlwifi.tcz >> onboot.lst
echo wifi.tcz >> onboot.lst

This explains a lot. Thanks. Although, I’m not sure how I would download the .tcz files without internet. Is it possible to put a wifi.tcz file into tcl via Windows/WSL?

Thanks for the replies.
I managed to get it to connect - turns out that I rebooted at the wrong point
went through again without rebooting and it allowed me to connect.
Now I need to work out how to get it to connect on boot
and what packages I need to get a gui going.

Have you read the last section of the announcement post>

Although that issue normally doesn't cause a problem until after you make a wifi connection.

what does dmesg tell you?   look near the end of the output
