| + | =====Install TinyCore without optical drive with grub2 bootloader on to a spare partition ===== | ||
| + | ===Assumptions=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Try at own risk**, assumes you have wired internet. Assumes 32 bit install and host has grub2 bootloader. | ||
| + | The data-partition should not have a folder called opt, tce. My spare partition has no home folder but it may be possible, | ||
| + | to use a separate host /home partition but not tested by me. On my host, the spare partition mounts under /a, which is non-FHS. | ||
| + | Hopefully yours will be called /mnt/sdx, and mine is sda2. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Steps could be modified if you use the multicore distro. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===On host computer, create files and their temporary permissions=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | They are called temporary permissions, | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | wget http:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Remember to change mkdir /a -- to whatever your pathway to spare partition is please | ||
| + | |||
| + | Become root eg sudo su or su, or prefix below commands with sudo | ||
| + | and unpack iso to obtain some files | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | cd /tmp | ||
| + | mount -o loop TinyCore-current.iso unpack</ | ||
| + | |||
| + | I won't attempt to create user tc or group staff so TC fixes this on first boot. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now copy some files. | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | cd cde && cp -R * / | ||
| + | Not sure what your HOST defaults are...let' | ||
| + | and readable for kernel and core | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | chmod 444 vmlinuz core.gz</ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Host grub2 actions==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Edit our grub2 file, change leafpad to your preferred terminal or gui text editor please. | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | Consider adding extra boot codes as well from TC wiki. [[wiki: | ||
| + | |||
| + | -----------------copy and paste ---------- | ||

| + | < | ||
| + | menuentry "TC hard-drive" | ||
| + | set root=(hd0, | ||
| + | linux /vmlinuz tce=sda2 opt=sda2 waitusb=5 showapps | ||
| + | initrd /core.gz | ||
| + | } | ||
| + | |||
| + | </ | ||
| + | ------------end of paste......there is one empty line below the " } " | ||
| + | |||
| + | Change hd0,msdos2 (first hard drive, sda2) to where-ever your spare partition is. | ||
| + | |||
| + | save file and run | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | cat / | ||
| + | reboot</ | ||
