- | ====== Install Core ====== | ||
- | New users may find it easier install Tinycore (with a Graphical User Interface), and become familiar with Tinycore before installing Core (with a Command line Interface). For installation guides, see the [[start|Index]]. | ||
- | |||
- | Core may be installed in a similar way to Tinycore, but with the following modifications. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Use core instead of tinycore ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Use the core.gz file instead of the tinycore.gz file. | ||
- | |||
- | In the bootloader, replace tinycore.gz with microcore.gz. If you use the installer, this should be done automatically. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Install Additional Extensions ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Install the following additional extensions: | ||
- | |||
- | Xlibs.tcz | ||
- | |||
- | Xprogs.tcz | ||
- | |||
- | Xvesa.tcz | ||
- | |||
- | flwm_topside.tcz | ||
- | |||
- | wbar.tcz | ||
- | |||
- | These extensions need to be in On Boot. If you are installing Microcore without being connected to the Internet, you may need to list them in / | ||
- | |||
- | Set up using these extensions, Microcore will run the same as Tinycore. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Try a Different Setup ==== | ||
- | |||
- | You may also try a different setup. | ||
- | |||
- | For example, you may install a window manager other than flwm_topside.tcz. | ||
- | |||
- | There are many other things which can be done with Microcore. It is up to you. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Using Commands ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Microcore can be run without a graphical interface. When run that way, you can perform tasks using commands in the terminal. Following are examples. | ||
