hi keniv

change cde for tce

kernel /1delta/boot/vmlinuz showapps tce=sda1/1delta/tce/ desktop=flwm_topside

look this example

title Corepup-7 icewm
root (hd0,0)
kernel /Corepup-7/boot/vmlinuz showapps tce=sdb1/Corepup-7/tce/ desktop=icewm waitusb=5
initrd /Corepup-7/boot/core.gz

Well I was wrong as changing cde to tce allowed me to boot to a desktop. However, I set the date and time then tried to shutdown and make a backup (I assume this is the equivalent of a save file). This failed with an error. I could only shutdown by electing to exit to the command prompt then

@keniv

I think the trick is to make the path tce=sda1...., instead of cde=sda1....
(assuming that you extract the ISO content in sda1/1delta, I think you did that)
So probably then this should work for your setup:

hi all

thanks for your interest and support

at this stage delta (tinycore)
has a significant learning curve
and has limited functionality

that is not acceptable for this project
since it strives to be as simple as possible
and completely functional

over time we will reduce the the learning curve
and increase the functionality

tinycore can produce a fully functional distro now
(with a learning curve)
but i wanted to start out with the smallest iso
that still has x and wired internet

if you want wifi internet and more desktops now
you can use coreplus 9 for the time being

it may be better for some
to simply read along as this project progresses
rather than become frustrated
with issues that will eventually be resolved

i apologize for being so slow
but i have other obligations that i must attend to as well
however slowly i will get things done
i am in this for the long term
since this is my hobby

however i do appreciate
any help or input

thanks again everyone
will post some updates soon

Hi Fred,
Thanks for your comments and trying to help me with my boot code problem. I'm still not sure why changing the directory name was necessary but it did work. I did try to set up a cable network. I can get eth0, network mask and servers but I don't know how to set the rest up manually. May may try to fiddle with it for a little longer but I think it's beyond my abilities.

Regards,

Ken.

hi keniv and everyone

my comments about wifi were not directed to you
this has been a problem for everyone including me

and at this time this project is totally unsatisfactory
concerning it mission

it is not simple and it is not fully functional

but i am sure that over time
i will be able to make it into what it is supposed to be
primarily because of the efficiency and flexibility of its base

you have been very helpful
it seems a big problem for many people is with grub
(that i know nothing about and do not use)
and also wifi

solutions for both will be figured out

there are also other issues that i am aware of
because i have been playing with this system for a while

however this is a work in progress
and a hobby of mine
so i will just keep plodding along

if you read the thread occasionally
and play with things if you have the inclination
you will soon figure it out
since it is really very simple
once you get over some of its quirks

and once again i apologize for my slowness
but i have other obligations i must attend to

i do really appreciate all the input and support
and like it said it is far more helpful than you think

will post again soon
when i have the next step finished

regards

hi guys

thanks for the concern

i am still reading the forum everyday
but haven't been posting
because i have been very busy with personal stuff
nothing existential just time consuming

i am still playing with my little project
and following all your great work

absolutely amazing

the nice thing about my project
is that it is really just tinycore
so i am not really essential
between the tinycore and puppy forums
anyone could get all the answers they need

i will post when i have made things more usable
but i didn't want to clog up the forum

you all also stay well
and keep up the awesome work

if anyone wants to contact me
just post on this thread
like i said i read the forum everyday

best regards

wanderer
