| 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]]); 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://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/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). | 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.

| 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. |
