-Starting with Core v4.4 (or more exactly release candidate 3 of V4.4) it is possible to put CorePlus.iso on an USB stick and boot that image via memdisk from the syslinux project (see [[http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISO_images]]). For that purpose a boot option iso=sdb1 was added. The latter example searches anywhere on sdb1 for the first image, i.e. the first file with the extension iso and mount that image (in the hope that it is the Core image). If there are several files with extension iso, the fill path must be specified, i.e. is=sdb1/TinyCore/CorePlus.iso as tested example).+Starting with Core v4.4 (or more exactly, with release candidate 3 of V4.4) it is possible to put CorePlus.iso on an USB stick and boot that image via memdisk. Memdisk is part of the syslinux project (see [[http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISO_images|Syslinux docu]]); it emulates a bios hard disk, which accesses the ISO image. When the native hard disk drivers take over, the operating system has to support the access of the ISO image. For that purpose a boot option iso=<device> (e.g. iso=sdb1, see corresponding [[http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#iso|FAQ]]) was added to TinyCore. In example iso=sdb1 TinyCore searches sdb1 for files with extension iso and uses the first image found, mounts that image (in the hope that it is the Core image). If there are several files with extension iso, the full path must be specified, i.e. iso=sdb1/TinyCore/CorePlus.iso as a example, which I tested). 
  
 Since it is tedious to type in these boot parameters every time, I remastered successfully the image and would like to share my experience here. Since it is tedious to type in these boot parameters every time, I remastered successfully the image and would like to share my experience here.
