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 Index.
Core may be installed in a similar way to Tinycore, but with the following modifications.
Use core instead of tinycore
Use the Core-9.0.iso instead of the TinyCore-9.0.iso.
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 /tce/onboot.lst with a text editor.
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.
