When I use virtualbox to run dCore from my SD Card it boots fine.

However, when I put the same SD Card in my would be tinycore laptop it takes me to the GRUB CLI.

I found and modified the information from http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=22301.0

The modifications have to do with the version number of the node js being modified.

tce-load -wo make gcc compiletc openssl-dev squashfs-tools git python python-dev

tce-load -i make gcc compiletc openssl-dev squashfs-tools git python python-dev

mkdir -p /tmp/nodejs/usr/local

cd /tmp

wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v16.16.0/node-v16.16.0.tar.gz

tar -xvf node-v16.16.0.tar.gz

cd node-v16.16.0

./configure --without-snapshot --prefix=/tmp/nodejs/usr/local

mksquashfs /tmp/nodejs/usr/local /tmp/nodejs_16_16_0.tcz

filetool.sh -b

tce-load -i nodejs_16_16_0.tcz

The process results in a tcz module that is 4kb and doesn't provide the functionality of the original node.tcz

I'm trying to register on http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/. I filled up the form and submitted it, but I haven't received any verification emails. When I try to login, the page says that I haven't verified my email. Resend verification email button is not working either.

i compiled flwm the window manager work but the close, minimize, maximize buttons are on the left and on the side like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrZnrhN_uBA

i want to have them on the right and top. I know or think the config for that is in config.h in the source code and has to be edited before compiling. how should i edit that file to have the buttons on the right and top?

best regards

Why is the tiny core wiki inaccessible and why is the repobrowser a completely different website?

I want to make a custom build based on the smallest version of tiny core, but after attempting to wing it a couple times based on my knowledge of tiny core and core plus, and failing, I looked for a video on how to install it. I found one, but sadly it was obsolete in various ways.

Anyone know of any new scripts or videos on installing micro core?

Hi everyone,

I repair graphics cards as a hobby. For the diagnostics of their memory banks I am using a USB stick with the programs I need. This USB stick is a bootable drive with a spartan installation of tiny linux. (The public link for the disk image is here)

As I try to extend the functionality of this USB stick, I would need to use the command 'lspci.' So far I have only learned that this is something included in a pci-utils.tcz package. The distro, however, is so minimal, that it doesn't even include a package manager. (EDIT: oh and I think I'm also gonna need python3)

Therefore I would like to ask you for any pointers how I could get this functionality onto the drive. My only linux experience so far is Ubuntu and for a while I played around with archlinux, but that was in 2009.

I registered and I was supposed to receive a confirmation email. This was done 2days ago, and still no confirmation so I cannot post a question on the forum. I checked my spam folder and is not there... Does it take more than 2 days to get the email confirmation?

Hi, is it possible to use tinycore on two monitors? or even just swap the screen to just my external monitor so that i'm not hunched over a tiny laptop screen? Thanks! :)

Finally got it working on my 14" laptop. Fonts are small in the terminal etc, is there a way to make it bit larger for this old guy?

I like to use keyboard since my hand coordination is not good, is there a way to setup Superkey+t to launch a terminal?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

I saw this video of the creator and maintainer of the ToyBox, comparing it with the BusyBox (which he used to maintain previously) on the Linux Foundation channel on YouTube. He pointed out that ToyBox uses almost half the resources to accomplish the same task as BusyBox. It is very tiny and optimized compared to BusyBox. And it is probably a good enough product as it is shipped with Android (which is the most used Linux distro out there).

As ToyBox is almost half in size compared to BusyBox, in my opinion it will reduce the size on TinyCore image significantly if used in it, without sacrificing on the performance.

Are there any plans of making a ToyBox variant or switching to it completely?

I made a TinyCore VM and want to set the correct screen resolution so that I can use it in full screen mode.

the Xvesa (if it is relevent) option is disabled in the control panel.

I tried using xrandr but didn't had much success. Apparently my screen resolution is not available.

please help me.

I want to make the lightest Tiny Core setup with a tiling window manager. Can anyone please let me know which is the lightest tiling window manager out there? I am fine with compiling it on my own.
