Tiny Core v17.1

[Juanito]

Team Tiny Core is proud to announce the release of Core v17.1
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86_64/release

Changelog for 17.1 beta1:
* update kernel to 6.18.35
* update zsync - thanks to @GNUser

Note that you will need the updated kernel module extensions from the appropriate repo - it is probably better to download the ones you need prior to updating rootfs*gz, modules*gz and vmlinuz* and rebooting.

Core-17.1.iso is an empty file (zero bytes).

Hi Juanito
How about that. It even says zero bytes here:

I am -so- glad I was busy/lazy today and didn't get around to the install yet.  There's no  telling how long it would have taken me to figure that out.

Hi All,

sorry to barge in, I'm currently on 17.0 and would like to upgrade to 17.1 but as brand new user have no idea how to do this.

Would there be a step by step guide available for this? Don't want to ruin my good old eeepc 701sd.

Many thanks in advance, really like Tiny core a lot, it brought my oldie back to life

Hi Chinaboy5216
Before updating kernels, you should download updated versions of
kernel modules you are using:

Code: [Select]

getMirror
cd /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
for File in *\-6.18.2\-*.tcz*; do wget $MIRROR/${File/\-6.18.2\-/\-6.18.35\-}; done
Then you can download and boot updated vmlinuz and core.gz files:

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your help, I will try after doing a backup and well if it doesn't work can always reinstall tiny core.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.
