 +**WARNING WARNING WARNING**
 +Using the described procedure results in an applicance like device. That is you will **not** be able to use AppBrowser or AppsAudit to add or maintain any apps. Using this procedure effectively breaks the dynamic features of Tiny Core. If your goal is a locked down frozen system then proceed. Do not complain when you are unable to dynamically add even one application.

-Put applications in On Boot or On Demand. If On Demand is used, the CD can be run on a computer with less RAM. It is easiest to set up On Boot and On Demand in the computer, then copy the entire tce directory to /tmp/newiso, including the On Boot file, and the On Demand directory.+It is not necessary to use On Boot or On Demand, as you can use Install Local.
  
-Copy tc-install.gz to the tce directory (not /tce/optional), so you can use the CD for installing Tiny Core.+However, it may be more convenient to use On Boot or On Demand, or have some applications in each. This enables you to just start applications from the wbar and menu. If On Demand (or Install Local) is used, the CD can be run on a computer with less RAM than On Boot. It is easiest to set up On Boot and On Demand in the computer, then copy the entire tce directory to /tmp/newiso, including the On Boot file, and the On Demand directory.
  
-You may also include nettools.gz, for connecting to the Internet.+It is a good idea to include install-tools.gz for installing Tiny Core, and network-tools.gz for connecting to the Internet. Copy these to the tce directory (not /tce/optional).
  
-If you don't plan to use backup, you can edit isolinux.cfg, and include “norestore”.+If you don't plan to use backup, you may edit isolinux.cfg, and include “norestore”.
