corepup
hi nosystemdthanks
most applications you will need
are already tcz
and use the apps device in corepup to get them
from the tinycore repository
how to make a tcz
which is very easy
is also on the tinycore site
however that is for an offical tcz
and i skip most of the steps for corepup
because they are not needed with corepups system
how to make a tcz
from a sfs dotpet pet or deb
involves unsquashing it into a directory
making sure everything needed is in there
and then squashing it up with a tcz extension
however you could easily
unsquash it into a directory in home
and link it from there
this would be useful for testing
until you get things right
then if you want you can make it into a tcz
but you dont need to it would work fine from there
thanks for your interest and input
cheers

hi all
one of the cool things about this system
is that you can have multiple home tce and opt folders
so you can keep and boot to
multiple versions of the setup/system
however at this time
to do this
the files on the hard drive need to be renamed
each time you want to switch
its not difficult but its an extra step
it would be nice if you could choose which version you want at boot
but this would involve changing boot codes and loading procedures
I think I will try to do this after everything is loaded
with a script in home mods
1. load the system but not home tce or opt
2. symlink to these directories from the loaded ramdrive system
might be possible to name home tce and opt anything you want
if you were just symlinking to them

hi all
the official window manager for corepup is corepup-jwm
which is a stripped down older version of jwm
I have already changed some of the default colors and margins
so it only uses a single .jwmrc file
however this is a problem
because if you save another jwm desktop
the .jwmrc files will conflict
I have looked into the source code
and it looks like I will be able to change
the config file name it looks for
I will change the config file to corepup-jwmrc and recompile
that way corepup-jwm will not relate to any other window manager
and its slowly becoming it own thing which I like

hi everyone
I don't know if anyone is playing with corepup
but I will assume at least one person is (me)
this is an update of what is next
recompile corepup-jwm
so that it uses corepup-jwmrc
instead of jwmrc
to avoid conflicts
if I manage to do that
I will make a new corepup.tcz
and a new corepup iso with that in it
make a new corepup mods file to add futwerks new artwork
make an example of each of the 3 basic ways
of adding apps to corepup
1. copy to .local in home
2. symlink an app directory from home
3. make a tcz
I will put these examples in a new mods file
so people can study them
to be continued

hi all
great success for wanderer
i have recompiled corepup-jwm
to now look for corepup.jwmrc
and not .jwmrc
so now it will not interfere with other jwm setups
corepup-jwm is almost getting to be an actual fork (well sort of)
now i will remake corepup.tcz with the new corepup-jwm
and make and post a new corepup iso with it included
it is late now and i have to work tomorrow
so it will probably be tomorrow night

Hello, wanderer and all,
recently i found an interesting tinycore iso which can be booted "frugal" from hardisk without burning CD.
Download location link:
http://pub.nicereader.net/tinycore_nr_wifi_firefox.iso
I just copy the two folders in the iso file, that is "tcb" and "tce", to my root directory of (hd0,1)partition,
and then place the iso file also to my root directory of (hd0,1)partition, and then add the entry to menu.lst
title BOOT test
map --mem (hd0,1)/tinycore_nr_wifi_firefox.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
And it boots straight away.
(The menu.lst within the iso is too complicated for me to understand, as my linux knowledge is very very limited)
Firefox is only version24 and a little bit old, wifi works ok. Seems this distro is created by an Asian.
Keyboard on laptop seems to give strange result, "0" is displayed when you press "m". Other apps seem running ok.
Enjoy.

hi all
to those who may be building corepup/tinycore systems
please be aware that there is a tcz accessed through the apps utility
that will download and package into a tcz
any version of firefox that you choose
the default is the lastest
but you can choose any version
the last firefox that uses alsa is 51.0.1
so that is an option for those who want to stay with alsa
after that it requires pulseaudio
but instructions on how to set this up are on the tinycore website
so if you are using corepup or a relatively new tinycore
you can have an up to date firefox

hi all
i have uploaded the corepup-6.iso
to the smokey01 site
and have deleted the corepup-5.iso
this is the latest iso and a bugfix
it contains the new corepup-jwm and the corepup-jwmrc file
this new corepup-jwm only looks for the corepup-jwmrc file
not the old .jwmrc file
so it will not interfere with other jwm setups

hi all
this is just a question for any guru who may read this
in the spirit of unix and corepup
many discrete pieces that can be combined in infinite ways
is it possible to write a busybox ash script
that uses dd to make a live usb that is writeable
i can make a live usb but i cannot make it writeable
any info would be appreciated

Hi wanderer,
I don't think it's possible, when using dd it becomes read-only by default, that's the consequence (just like a CD is read-only).
(but that's only what I experienced, anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

Who you mean with "they"?wanderer wrote:thanks fredx181
then how do they make the live usb writeable
they do it
wanderer
Anyway, to have it writable, it's just by copying the required files and folders to the usb and install a bootloader (e.g. grub4dos or syslinux,if I remember well you wrote that you have USB with syslinux as bootloader ?)
For grub4dos setup, I wrote about it here:
