| The basic installation consists of kernel and initrd with an appropriate boot stanza. | A basic dCore install consists of a kernel, an initrd file and a properly configured boot loader. This provides only a commandline interface. Perform the following steps to set up a basic graphic desktop, which can be modified afterwards as desired. |
| To get a usable X11 desktop, one needs to add the boot-code ''desktop=flwm'' and type out the following commands. | |
| |
| Optionally, use the ''-r''-flag for ''sce-import'' to extract the '.deb'-files in RAM. The ''-b''-flag makes the extensions be loaded when booting the system. | Note the ''-r'' flag (eg. ''sce-import -br Xprogs'') may optionally be used to extract Debian ('*.deb') files in RAM when importing extensions. The ''-b'' flag ensures newly created SCE extensions are automatically loaded at boot time. |
| |
| - ''tce-setdrive'' (to set up the partion to contain the data-files) | *Run ''tce-setdrive'' to specify the partition to be used for dCore's data files. |
| - ''sce-import -b Xprogs'' | *Run ''sce-import -b Xprogs'' to install software needed for dCore graphics. |
| * optionally: ''sce-import graphics-$(uname -r)'' for additional graphics drivers | *Run ''sce-import -b xorg-all'' to install all X.org graphic drivers |
| - ''sce-import -b xorg-all'' | *Optionally review [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages#dcore_xorg-_specific_driver_installation|dCore Xorg-<specific> Driver Installation]] for specific drivers. |
| * optionally: [[dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages|reduce to the necessary drivers]] for your specific system. | *Run ''sce-import -b wbar'' to install the wbar program launcher. |
| - ''sce-import -b wbar'' | *Run ''sce-import -b flwm_topside'' or ''sce-import -b flwm'' to install Fast Light Window Manager. |
| - ''sce-import -b flwm_topside'' or ''sce-import -b flwm'' (depending on screen format and/or your taste) | *Add a desktop boot code to the system's boot loader (eg. desktop=flwm or desktop=flwm_topside). |
| | *Reboot system into a graphic desktop. |
| |
| Then restart the system and it will boot into a graphical desktop. | In most cases the above steps will result in a good working system, if not try [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:faq#help_i_followed_the_documentation_but_can_t_boot_into_graphics|installing kernel modules for graphic drivers]], reboot and test. As outlined, additional customization, such as [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages#dcore_xorgconf_example|xorg.conf file installation]], may be needed to tweak monitor resolution. Review the relevant [[http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/|READMEs]] for additional information. |
